Confusion regarding study

There seems to be some confusion among a section of parliamentarians regarding a survey conducted by Assocham. Four MPs, including Nationalist Congress Party's Supriya Sule, raised some questions for the commerce and industry ministry about the study conducted by the industry body on foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail and its suggestion that the government allow such FDI through public-private partnerships (PPP) with adequate safeguards to protect domestic stakeholders. Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Nirmala Sitharaman replied that no such study had been conducted by the government and that no such proposal for PPP in multi-brand retail from Assocham was being considered by the government.
