NewsX@9 is a NewsX special show which debates the main news event of the day. Here we raise the issue of Barack Obama's statement that the investment climate in India. It seems to have politically united India and raised hackles across party lines. Commerce Minister Anand Sharma said India has an "investment friendly climate", adding that Mr Obama's "perception is "different from reality". The government's response to Mr Obama's statement has been backed firmly by the Opposition. The BJP took umbrage at Mr Obama saying that India prohibits foreign investment in too many sectors. So we ask today- Is the political outburst against Barack Obama aimed at taking the heat away from the UPA's economic failures? We debate the question on the show and try to evolve consensus among our panelists over the issue. Watch this NewsX's debate special show NewsX@9.
