You need an amendment as well,- he said when asked whether the Bill would be introduced in the upcoming winter session of Parliament. -We have to talk to different parties, take them on board and then move forward. We have had bitter experiences earlier ... on the discussion of the Bill. Keeping that in mind, we have to move forward cautiously,- he said.
