New Delhi: The Lok Sabha will have the much-delayed discussion on the Indo-US nuclear deal on November 27.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Priyaranjan Dasmunsi said that the government has also proposed discussion in the Rajya Sabha on November 28. As Prime Minister Manmohan Singh would be away on a foreign tour, the opposition did not want a discussion on the crucial issue in the absence of the Prime Minister. Singh would be returning from the foreign tour on November 25.
Earlier, the government proposed to take up the discussion on November 16 in the Lok Sabha and November 19 in the Rajya Sabha to which main opposition BJP said it wanted a two-day discussion on the important issue. AIADMK wanted a discussion in the Rajya Sabha under a rule which entails voting on the issue. While the BJP has said that it favoured a discussion under a rule which entails voting but could settle for a general discussion if it was not possible.
