New Delhi: The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPM) leader and the chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Civil Aviation, Sitaram Yechury, has refuted the charge of Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Mamata Banerjee that he gave the go-ahead for foreign direct investment (FDI) in the cash-strapped aviation sector.
Yechury told media here that as a former central cabinet minister, Banerjee, should have known that the standing committee did not have the mandate for taking such a decision
"As a union cabinet minister in both the BJP-led NDA regime and in the Congress-led UPA regime, the Trinamool chief should know that these are matters which are called executive decisions, that are entirely in the domain of the executive, i.e., the government. This matter was never referred to the committee.
