the rate of inflation today? That was not mentioned by the Leader of the
Opposition. When this House discussed this issue under Rule 193, the inflation
was 21 per cent; it came down to 18 per cent; today, when we are discussing this
issue again, the rate of inflation of whole sale price index is 10.55 per cent. …

SHRI P.C. CHACKO : Please do not get impatient. I am not disagreeing with that.
She has not even mentioned what is the rate of inflation in this country. It was 21
per cent; it came down to 18 per cent, and again, to 16 per cent; today it is 10.5 per
cent. … (Interruptions)
MR. CHAIRMAN: Please address the Chair.

SHRI P.C. CHACKO : Please understand this. They may be getting impatient

SHRI P.C. CHACKO : That is their unrest. But the fact is that the inflation is
coming down. In every developing economy, this kind of a situation of one type or
the other happens. What are we seeing today? In the country, price rise is a
burning problem. The common man is suffering. This House in the form of a
common resolution accepts that we have full sympathy for this; and the
Government as well as the Opposition, unitedly we have to face this problem.
