Finance Minister hops two paragraphs

July 07 2009 10:45 AM

The Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee presented the budget in the Lok Sabha on Monday. It is seen as a pro poor budget with welfare schemes offered for the rural India.

While presenting the budget, the finance minister hopped two paragraphs, which he did not realize until a note was kept before him. He immediately apologized and asked permission from the Speaker to revert back to the left out paragraphs.

Despite protest from the opposition, Pranab Mukherjee, read out the previously skipped paragraphs with the connivance of the Speaker Meira Kumar.

The two missed out paragraphs consisted details of allocations for the minorities.
