Sonia Gandhi set to lead debate on Food Bill in Parliament today.
UPA
Chairperson Sonia Gandhi is set to lead the debate on the Food Security
Bill from government's side on Wednesday. UPA's ambitious Rs 1.25 lakh
crore bill aims to provide subsidised food grain to 70 per cent of the
population in the country. The Congress has issued a whip to all its MPs
to attend proceedings.
However,
Murli Manohar Joshi will initiate the debate for the Bhartiya Janata
Party (BJP) in Parliament. The cabinet had introduced the scheme as a
law last month, but Parliament has to approve the legislation within six
weeks.
