NEW DELHI, JULY 12: Finance Minister Yeshwant Sinha today asserted that there are no differences among the NDA and the Swadeshi protagonists over the privatisation of public enterprises and said even if there were any, it would be sorted out.

“There are no differences within the constituents. Even if there are doubts we are quite clear to clear them,” Sinha told reporters on the sidelines of a function to present awards to co-operative banks.

The Cabinet Committee on Disinvestment (CCD), which was scheduled to meet today, has been postponed to July 19 raising speculation that the meeting has been deferred in the face of differences between Swadeshi protagonists and government over big-ticket privatisation of PSUs.
