Commerce and industry minister Nirmala Sitharaman says the country will move ahead with more liberalised FDI policy after forming a political consensus. All of us are votaries of free trade. Any votary of 100% free trade would be unrealistic if he felt that the world is moving towards 100% free trade. It is not as if we are less protectionist yesterday or we more free trade votary today. Votaries of free trade are not unfettered votaries anymore, they are cautious of free trade.
