              New Delhi: The 
              Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) Friday announced a 
              country-wide protest against foreign investment in multi-brand

 "We have convened a national convention of representatives of 
              different stake holders all over the country from January 1. The 
              same the day the agitation will also be kicked off," CAIT generalk 
              secretary Praveen Khandelwal told IANS.
 
 Khandelwal said the voting pattern adopted by certain parties 
              during a voting on the contentious issue in the both the houses of 
              parliament was a result of "manipulative politics".
 
 "We strongly condemn the collusion between the United Progressive 
              Alliance and Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party," he said.
 
 "SP and BSP have destroyed the opposition unity on the important 
              issue which has greater ramification on the livelihood of crores 
              of people, particularly the downtrodden," he said.
