Both the Houses of Parliament were disrupted again on Friday on issues like voting on FDI to delay in the passage of Bill to ensure reservation in promotions.
Supporters of the Government, the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samajwadi Party, continued to be vocal in raising such issues. Samajwadi Party has maintained that they will oppose reservation in promotions.
The Government is continuing its efforts to avoid a voting on FDI in retail. The core committee of the Congress, which met in Parliament, discussed various options before the Government.
A view is emerging on the ruling side that since the SP and BSP are supporting them, allowing a discussion under Rule 184 with voting will not harm the Government.
If it is necessary for a smooth functioning of Parliament, the Government may relent and agree for a debate under Rule 184, sources said.
However, a final decision will be taken only after the all-party meeting, which will be held on Monday.
The Government will make all efforts to convince the Opposition that voting on FDI will not be possible as it is a policy matter. SP and BSP are likely to support the Government’s position on voting at the all-party meeting.
