Good morning folks, welcome to morning wishesh-headlines at glance. Today is an important day for everyone of us as a voting would be taking place on FDI Bill. The bill if passed would enable foreign companies to directly invest in the retail sector in our country. Lets have a glimpse at today's important headlines.
UPA FDI Bill: Amidst so much of debate and criticism, UPA is all set to table the bill on Foreign Direct Investment today. The bill will be moved in the parliament for voting. If the bill gets approved, then it would enable foreign companies to enter into Indian retail market. The opposition BJP and many parties including ally of UPA, Trinamul Congress are opposed to the bill. BJP leader Sushma Swaraj's speech yesterday in Lok Sabha gained significance in the wake of today's FDI bill. She elucidated as to how foreign eateries such as McDonalds and others were importing potatoes from foreign countries instead of purchasing them from Indian farmers.
Vastunna Meekosam: TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu's padayatra Vastunna Meekosam would enter Adilabad district today. Today he would resume his padayatra from Bodhan constituency. Babu would arrive at Fakirabad by afternoon where he would take lunch. After lunch break, he would cross Godavari bridge and enter Basara of Adilabad district.
Corporal punishment-student dies: Despite so many debates and criticism on corporal punishment, some teachers and school managements are allegedly paying deaf ears. In a horrific incident, a student of IV standard in Betul district Madhya Pradesh was thrashed by not just one teacher but by a couple of teachers as they suspected him to have broken the bucket. While the incident took place two weeks ago, the boy succumbed to injuries last night.
Sports: The International Olympic Committee banned India from taking part in 2016 Olympics for not complying with Olympic Charter. This decision came in as a shock not just to sports persons but the entire country. In the third test match between India and England at Kolkata, India won the toss and elected to bat. Ishant Sharma replace Harbhajan Singh in this match.
