Under the agreement reached after a few rounds of talks, the discussion would be taken up in the Lok Sabha today while the Rajya Sabha will have the debate next week.
A consensus resolution, to be moved in both the Houses, has also been worked out. It reads -- "Despite repeated discussions on price rise in the House, the burden of price rise on the common man is continuing. Expressing deep concern over price rise, this House calls upon the government to take immediate effective steps to check inflation that will give relief to the common man."
