It is reported that the Parliament Standing Committee on Finance, chaired by Shri Veerappa Moily has recommended that a new Disinvest Commission should be set up to review the disinvestment process and give recommendations for the future.

The last Disinvest Commission was set up in 2001. The Parliamentary Committee has pointed out that during the last few years, instead of the target of Rs.1.5 lakh crore revenue, on Rs. 75 lakh alone could be collected, resulting in a wide gap. This should be made up, the report says.

Whether it is the UPA or NDA government, there is no difference as regarding the implementation of the neo-liberal policy and selling of the PSUs. They are two sides of the same coin, as every body knows.

Only a sustained struggle by the working class with the solid support of the people will be able to stop this madness.
