No Reason To Hold Nation To Ransom On FDI, Says Omar Abdullah

New Delhi, Nov 29: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today criticised the “opposition lobby” for stalling Parliamentary proceedings on allowing FDI in retail saying there was no reason to hold the nation to ransom.

“No one is forcing FDI in retail down anyone’s throat. States not interested have right of first refusal. What could be more fair?,” Omar said on micro-blogging site twitter.

“I see no reason to hold the nation to ransom now,” the Chief Minister said apparently taking a dig at opposition parties who are demanding roll-back of the decision.

“Is the FDI opposition lobby saying that state governments can’t be trusted to decide what is right for their states?,” he said.
