Re: [IAC++] IAC position on FDI in retail

Mr. Roy,

How is it Gandhian to be thinking about bombing someone? More so in today's age when the threat of terrorism abounds. Plus i really feel the "Thuggeray" party of Shiv Sena symbolizes all that is wrong about politics in India, and Mr Raut's words are just proving that point.

Finally, "foreign" is not a synonym for "bad". If people everywhere in the world thought the same, then there would be no exports and no trade, and that would be bad for everyone.


Regards,
Jawahar

Somebody asked me today what IAC's position was on FDI in retail.

I said we hadn't worked it out, but my own view was surprisingly
quite similar to the Shiv Sena's as expressed by their MP
Sanjay Raut today in Parliament

"selling the country to foreigners like Wal-Mart.
If Sukhdev, Bhagat Singh were alive, they would have
bombed the people who are sitting here.
"

What do IAC members think ?
