New Delhi, Sep 7 (IANS) Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Wednesday said that inflation is not a "red lettered" priority as it has cooled down in the last few weeks.

Speaking on the Data Protection Bill, she said that the Centre is keen to bring it.
IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw had said on Tuesday that Central government will soon bring a completely new version of the bill.
