Khurana flays lifting of QRs

NEW DELHI, MAY 5. The former Union Minister, Mr. Madan Lal Khurana, who was removed as the BJP vice-president for openly criticising the lifting of Import Quantitative Restrictions (IQRs) barely a week back, today raised the same issue at a seminar here.

Mr. Khurana, who was invited to speak on ``Future of print media'' by the All India Small and Medium Newspapers Federation (AISMNF) here, took the opportunity to air his views against the ``unmindful globalisation'' and ``allowing of imports''.

``I am against the unmindful globalisation as it will have an adverse impact on the Indian economy,'' Mr. Khurana said adding ``there has got to be globalisation but it should not be so rapid as to destroy our small scale industries''.

There was no level-playing ground between the Indian entrepreneurs and the foreign manufacturers he said.
