Despite the strong protest and opposition from opposition parties and also some UPA allies, the adamant Government issued orders today allowing 51% FDI in multi-brand retail and 49% FDI in civil aviation starting a new conquest for the MNCs and other foreign companies to take over the retail trade and airlines in the country. The government has once again shown its true face and also that it is fully succumbing to the dictates of US and other imperialist countries on how to bring so-called reforms in the country. The FDI in multi-brand retail, which the government could not pass in the Parliament due to strong opposition and lack of numbers, it has issued as an order after the Parliament session is over. And without considering its drastic consequences, the Congress led state governments are going to implement.

There is no other way before the people but to continue its strong protest and ensure that the UPA government can not continue like this.
