We should keep in our mind to what extent the interests of our nation have been served. I fully endorse the statement which the previous speaker has made so far as repatriation of the investments made by foreigners and of profits are concerned. We have dealt with this topic quite a number of times and I do not want to reiterate anything apart from only supporting what the hon. Member, who just now spoke, said. I would now like to deal with the investments of foreigners in India. Madam, the government of our country accepted the proposition that in allowing foreign investment, it should come in only in such industry and such from of production wherein our national investors will not come forward and in which technical skill is wanted. There is also one other factor which the industrial policy of our government of 1948 as adumbrated further in 1949 by the prime minister laid down. It specifically said that the control and ownership of such concerns should, as far as possible, be in the hands of Indian nationals and the technical know-how of our country should be developed. I would like to emphasise the figures that have been put forward for the last few years. From 1997 till the end 2002 or the early part of 2002 it has been reported that Rs. 190000 Crores of foreign capital have been allowed to be invested in our country. Of that, practically more than Rs. 7,000 Crore have been allowed to be invested in managing agency and trading enterprises in our country. So far as the government policy is concerned, we find that a sum of Rs. 4 Crore has been allowed to be invested this year. I wish to raise before this house a serious and burning issue which is causing great concern in Indian society, namely, the educated unemployed in India.
