New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has expressed hope that parliament would function normally from Wednesday after it meets following a four-day break.

“Hopefully,” said the prime minister at the Navy Day “At Home” to queries if parliament would function normally Wednesday.

The winter session of parliament has seen repeated adjourments mainly on the government’s decision to allow Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in retail and rising prices.

The opposition has demanded a roll back of the FDI decision, while some of government’s allies, including the Trinamool Congress, have expressed strong reservations.

Trinamool supremo Mamata Banerjee Saturday quoted union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee as saying the government had decided to suspend the decision but there has been no official announcement.
