Food Security Bill will be cleared on Monday: Chidambaram

The Union Cabinet will clear the Food Security Bill on Monday, Home Minister P.Chidambaram announced here on Saturday. 

Speaking at the birth day celebrations of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, organised by the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee, he said while it was imperative for the partymen to tell the people of the programmes and projects being implemented by the United Progressive Alliance Government at the Centre, it was equally important for the people to know what else was in the offing for them. 

He said that Ms.Gandhi wanted the Food Security Bill it to be cleared even earlier. 

The Lokpal Bill would be placed before Parliament during the current session. And the Bill against Communal Violence and the Bill on reserving a percentage for Muslims from the quota for minorities would also come up for discussion this session itself. 

“All these are conceived by Ms.Gandhi and she discusses and deliberates on these issues with various people. And she never goes back on her decisions,” he added.
