Amritsar<\/span><\/b>, 9 April ( Pujab Post Bureau)-\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/b>AAP Lok Sabha candidate from Amritsar and noted eye surgeon Dr. Daljit Singh, today brushed aside Congress\u2019s pet policy on FDI in retail and said. \u201cIt would completely weaken India and will destroy almost all of our smaller stake holders, whether they are in agricultural sector, retail, manufacture, distribution or transport, etc\u201d. And added,\u201cThe mammoth foreign monoliths are \u2018monopolists!\u201d \u201cThey are carrying forward the colonial agenda and are modern colonists. They capture, brow-beat and subjugate local competition. India can do without such \u2018investments\u2019.\u201dPointedly asking his rival Capt Amarinder Singh on his party\u2019s adamancy for FDI retail, Dr Daljit Singh inquired \u201cWhy is congress hell-bent on bringing FDI retail in India? Who is going to gain from this venture?\u201d \u00a0<\/span>He further said \u2013\u201cIt was for all to see how China is dumping its third grade products in Asian countries especially South Asia. In Pakistan, China has captured even their \u2018vehicle number plating\u2019 business. Congress should open its eyes and not take egoistic decisions that go against the mettle of the country\u201d, he asserted.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He further added that Indians are not laggards. If we like some foreign models and patterns why can\u2019t our local industry and enterprising top brains implement those projects in India on their own with technical help from other countries?\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Talking about the first to open in India \u2013 the American store \u2018Walmart\u2019 in Amritsar he asked \u201cWhat is so great about \u2018Walmart\u2019?\u201d \u201cCould Indians not build a Walmart look-alike\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cWhy have foreign brands become so important that we\u00a0 <\/span>are in a tearing hurry to let them capture Indian markets and ready to\u00a0 <\/span>throw the livelihood of crores of people and sell their stakes to foreigners. Can Indians not create brands?\u201d\u00a0 The padamshri was speaking to journalists, early this morning, on his way to Vijay Nagar, one of the Amritsar\u2019s many middle class suburbs. A busy Safai Karamchari of the area, found an unusual but ready ally today.\u00a0\u00a0Dr. Singh not only posed for pictures with him but took his broom and swept the streets, while the local residents and AAP workers cheered. Someone told the doctor that Anil Joshi, Local bodies Minister, Punjab was slated for a visit later. He smiled and said, \u201cAt least this once, the streets are sparkling clean, he should be pleased.\u201d Dr Singh went from house to house and re-energized the many AAP supporters in the area. Later, sipping tea the house of an AAP supporter in Tandan Nagar, Dr. Daljit Singh quipped , \u201cIf we must have malls, our own entrepreneurs are more capable of bringing the best.\u201d Returning his attention to rival Capt Amarinder Singh, Dr Daljit Singh reminded the ex CM about his doublespeak. \u201cWhy has the Captain picked a quarter of a century old\u00a0 <\/span>painful issue of Op Bluestar in these elections? He is part of the same regime (Congress) that was the decision maker and inflicted the heinous \u2018operation\u2019 as well gave wind to the anti-Sikh riots.\u201d One resident wryly interjected, \u201cThe deeds\u00a0of the congressmen are as dark in contrast as their kurtas are white.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amritsar, 9 April ( Pujab Post Bureau)-\u00a0\u00a0 AAP Lok Sabha candidate from Amritsar and noted eye surgeon Dr. Daljit Singh, today brushed aside Congress\u2019s pet policy on FDI in retail and said. \u201cIt would completely weaken India and will destroy almost all of our smaller stake holders, whether they are in agricultural sector, retail, manufacture, …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3460,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-english"],"yoast_head":"\n
