NEW DELHI: Parliamentary affairs minister Kamal Nath on Wednesday met BJP leaders Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley to end the logjam over foreign investment in retail, a day after the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) firmed up its numbers in parliament.
Earlier in the day, Kamal Nath met Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar.
"Opposition is sticking to its demand that a discussion on FDI in retail should be under rule that entails voting," Sushma Swaraj said on Wednesday.
The government on Tuesday expressed confidence that it has the numbers to counter the opposition in a parliament debate on FDI in retail.
There have been disruptions in the house by the Bharatiya Janata Party and others parties over the government pushing FDI in retail. The opposition is for a debate under rules that entail voting.
