SHRI CHANDRA SHEKHAR : Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Minister has made very tall claims that we can export wheat and we can import wheat. The hon. Member is asking what is the import rate and what is the export rate? Is it true that you have exported wheat much cheaper and importing it on much higher prices? The Minister should answer this question.

SHRI CHANDRA SHEKHAR : Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government seems to be in the habit of taking shelter on the plea that it was decided earlier. I shall like to know from the Government at what stage this agreement had been arrived at by whom and at what time. Personally, do not see any Cationale for importing wheat in this country. If any decision had been taken by the Government when I was heading, he should cancel that or he should put the record where we are for the import of wheat. This type of total distortion of facts should not be the habit of this Government. They should not indulge in this type of gossip and distortion. (Interruptions) Sir, I do not want to join issue, but Minister after Minister get up and say that this was decided earlier. The hon. Minister said that the procurement for lastless year. My Government went in June; the procurement season last in June. It was his failure; it is not my failure, but he wants to give publicity in the Press because he thinks that a captive Press can create a situation different than what the reality is.
