Yechury rebuts Mamata’s contention

CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury tonight dubbed as “totally false” Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee’s reported contention that parliamentary Standing Committee on civil aviation headed by him had recommended 51 percent FDI in civil aviation sector.

“The allegation is totally false”, he said.

Yechury said when he was the chairman of the Standing committee on civil aviation and transport, this issue never came up before it and this sort of decision is taken by the executive.
