Match-fixing says Yechury of Modi's invite to Cong

November 27, 2015 16:14

CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury on Friday said he has no objection to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's invitation to Congress president Sonia Gandhi and former prime minister Manmohan Singh for discussions on Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill but appealed to include other parties as well terming the meeting as 'match-fixing'.

"They have invited Congress, but have not initiated any talks with us or any others. I had said once in the Parliament what happens between the government and the Congress is Ankho hi ankho mein ishara hota hai, baithein baithein jine ka sahara hota hai. What is this match-fixing? We have no objections with their meeting but they should have included everyone," Yechury said.
