Price rise: Special debate in Parliament with voting tomorrow



--
..

On Tuesday, the Government and the opposition reached a consensus after a few rounds of Parleys, on holding a debate on price rise on both houses of the Parliament under the rule which entails voting on the resolution.

As per the information stated by the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha, Sushma Swaraj, the discussion and voting on price rise under rule 184, which entails voting on the resolution moved, would be held soon after the Question Hour comes to an end on Thursday.

Though the government had certain reservations, BJP was adamant on holding separate discussions on price rise and corruption under clauses which entail voting. The wording of the resolution was tweaked to suit both of them, after a few rounds of discussion between the two.

The burden of price rise upon the common man is continuing, despite repeated discussions on price rise in the House. The resolution agreed upon states that, the House calls upon the Government to take immediate effective steps inorder to check the inflation that will give relief to the common man, expressing deep concern over the price rise.

As per the earlier draft, the burden of price rise on the common man has been continued to be increased by the Government and that the House condemns the insensitivity of this government on price rise.

The resolution on behalf of the respective parties would be moved on by Senior BJP leader and former Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha and JD(U) President Sharad Yadav .

The debate would be opened by Sinha.

Inorder to hold the debate, the zero hour would be suspended for tomorrow.

In the Rajya Sabha, the same resolution would be moved next week and also will be followed by debate and voting (Under Rule 167). BJP M.P. Prakash Javadekar will move the resolution on behalf of his party.
