In an apparent dig at BJP's deputy leader in Rajya Sabha S S Ahluwalia, Aiyar told HT: "The opposition is suffering from 'Ahluwalitis'-shouting at the top of the voice and forcing adjournments." He said, "It's clear that the FDI in retail will create employment. If someone feels there will be adverse effects, let there be a discussion."
