The participants in such protests will wear black gowns or black clothes holding black flags. At Jantar Mantar in New Delhi a distinguished tableau of " Jugaad Rajneeti" will expose the face of manipulative politics on FDI in Retail while opposing the modus operendi of FDI in Retail. Why the Govt is so eager to allow MNCs in retail trade shall also be exposed.

Slamming "Jugaad Rajneeti-the manipulative politics as a" cancerious disease" for the democracy, the CAIT made it clear that "earlier opposition and now support" mode will be bitterly opposed by all sections of retail trade. "Now, the issue has a direct link with vote bank politics and traders have been compelled to convert themselves into a vote bank"- said CAIT National President Mr. B. C. Bhartia and Secretary General Mr. Praveen Khandelwal in a joint statement released here in New Delhi today.

Keeping an eye on the next general elections 2014 and various Assembly elections in 2013, a strategy has already been designed to reach upto polling booth level in each constituency to develop trading community comprising of more than 5 crore traders all over the Country and cores of people of other sectors of retail trade into a committed vote bank. The mode of strategy shall be disclosed soon after the debate in Parliament over FDI in Retail trade is over.

Both Mr. Bhartia and Mr. Khandelwal said that the CAIT is releasing a White Paper on FDI in Retail tommorrow at New Delhi listing out the evil designs of the Govt on FDI in Retail, non-democratic functioning on the issue, inculcation of incorrect facts and figures to make out a filmsy case of necessasity of FDI in Retail, gross ignorance of legislative process, non study of impact of FDI in Retail on stakeholders, granting extra ordinary benefits to global retailers, and major deviations from the fdi policy laid by Shri Anand Sharma on 25th Nov,11 and the notification issued by the Govt o 20th September,2012.

The CAIT has made an appeal to all political parties to oppose FDI in Retail as it will prove to be much detrimental to economy and retail trade of the Country.Baskerville Old Face.
