Mr. Speaker, three days ago, the finance minister launched a doomed attempt to take on the retailers and force them to lower their prices to U.S. levels. He even complained about the price of his Harry Potter book. Yesterday, he said, “I am not going to force retailers to cut their prices”.
Why all this political posturing? Was it his idea or did the dark Lord Voldemort, sitting on his throne in the PMO, order his finance underling to do it?
