Monsoon session of Parliament begins today

Finance Minister met Opposition leaders and on Saturday to seek support for the insurance Bill (which will increase foreign direct investment cap from 26 to 49 per cent), Swaraj’s reply was: “Jab nai sarkar aayegi tab hum karenge,” (we will do it when a new government is in place). Chidambaram’s retort was: “Why waste time? It is going to be our government again, so you might as well do it now.”
The rhetorical exchange suggests another contentious session of that starts from today.

Session likely to witness tumultuous scenes with 44 Bills to be tabled in 16 days
