I understand that this interview is rather old.

My feeling after reading the whole interview is, who made this guy an MP and minister? He does not know anything, and he does not comment about the things he knows. It was his ministry that prepared and proposed the bill, why is he trying to hide behind 'the supreme parliament'. Someone might argue that its the bureaucrats in his ministry who drafted the bill but I expect him to go over details and ATLEAST remember 'why' the bill was tabeled in the first place.

I don't accept the supremacy of parliament as Mr. Arjun Singh does. It is higher than a lot of things but parliament is not above 'people'.

Good job by 'Devil's Advocate'. Karan Thapar has a knack of asking the right questions. I like the way he asks 'basic' questions and tries to find contradiction in the interviewee's statements. Karan Thapar does become gossipy at the end of this interview, I think he should have avoided the last part.

Doesn't that mean he's a good politician? He spoke a lot without 'saying' anything of substance.
Reminds me of that diplomat in the Foundation Series whose speech is analysed by Foundation scientists, and they find that all of his logical assertions perfectly cancel each other out.
