Parliament rocked over UPSC, FDI
While the Bahujan Samaj Party demanded a discussion on the UPSC row (on bias against Hindi speaking aspirants vis-a-vis English language aspirants), Parliamentary Affairs Minister Venkaiah Naidu said it requires a deep study. TMC demanded discussion on FDI issue.
TMC was ballistic over the FDI in defence issue (raised to 49 percent) and 100 percent FDI in Railways.
TMC RS member Derek O'Brien said: "This government is subverting democracy. Parliament is in session. They are stuck with FDI in Insurance. They can't get it through in the Rajya Sabha. So what are they doing, using the excuse of saying that it is an executive decision to bring 100 per cent FDI in railways and 49 per cent in defence."
RS was also adjourned till 11.31 am over the UPSC row.
