TMC to move resolution on FDI in Parliament

Trinamool Congress after pulling out support from the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government has decided to move a resolution on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the next session of parliament, informed former minister of state for urban development Sougata Roy to media.

"We will move a resolution in the next session of parliament," Sougata said.

According to reports, the decision was taken on Saturday at a meeting of the party's former union ministers with party supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the state secretariat, Writers' Buildings.

TMC has already announced its plans to organise a demonstration at New Delhi's Janta Mantar Sep 26.

Terming Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's address to the nation on the recent reform measures and fuel hike Friday as "not inspiring", Roy said the speech was "unexpected".

"Such speeches are delivered on the Independence Day and when there is external emergency," he said.
