Chacko's decision to resign from Congress not wise: Hibi Eden

Domestic LPG production has increased by about 25 percent and the entire domestic LPG production is being directed towards household consumers, Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas said on Wednesday.

"The important factor here is that the government of India has taken no creative steps in bringing back the people who are stranded in those places. They have not ensured the safety of the Indians who are living abroad, especially in the West Asia and Middle-Eastern countries, where they are suffering a huge crisis. We are very much concerned for the people who live for their livelihood in these countries," Eden said, urging a parliamentary debate on the issue.

The order was pronounced by Special Judge (PC Act) Jitender Singh of the Rouse Avenue Court. The Court ruled that there was no overarching conspiracy or criminal intent in the formulation of the excise policy and held that the prosecution's case did not withstand judicial scrutiny.

"We had our parliamentary party meeting yesterday, and we are very clear about how we would take up this issue, the US trade deal and the farmers' issue, inside and outside Parliament. Rahul Gandhi is very committed to the cause of the farmers," Eden told ANI.

Speaking to ANI outside Parliament, Hibi Eden said eight Congress MPs have been suspended, but the party will continue its protest both inside and outside Parliament.
