NEW DELHI: The logjam in Parliament over FDI in multi-brand retail continued on Monday with opposition parties twice forcing adjournment of the Upper House.
The morning session started with chairman Hamid Ansari expressing the resolve of the House in fighting terrorism on the 4th anniversary of Mumbai attacks but had to be adjourned shortly as the BJP refused to relent.
The main Opposition accused the government of contempt of Parliament by deciding to introduce FDI in retail when it had given an assurance to the contrary in the House last year.
"The government had given an assurance on December 7, 2011, that it was going to suspend FDI in retail Now they are bringing it...this is contempt of Parliament,'' said senior leader Vankaiah Naidu amid slogan-shouting by other members.
