Arun Jaitley Quotations

We have narrowed down the differences and are hopeful of reaching an understanding very soon.

Over Legislation is not necessarily a virtue. It often leads to misuse of law.

Should National Security Issues be decided by a Local Referendum?

There is no doubt that there needs to be some scrutiny for them but the government must build a consensus on this.

When the international prices rise, we expect the government to cut its share of profit and its revenue earnings and share the burden of the increase with the common man.

The prime minister has heard us and has assured us that the decision on the dam height will not be reviewed.

Mrs. Sonia Gandhi's party and her government was caught red-handed trying to subvert the constitution and parliament. She became a victim of her own conspiracy.

But this latest episode not only proves his proximity to the (Nehru-Gandhi) family but also puts a question mark on his impartiality.

He has embarrassed the government. By continuing as minister without portfolio he has earned himself a price for silence.

It is amazing that the invitation given to separatists, and other concerned parties was turned down by them and the separatists did not participate.

It is bad enough that the Minister who represents India in world affairs is implicated in a murky international scandal. What compounds the offence is that he continues to remain External Affairs Minister with your full backing.

I think the suggestions should be given another look and this may be an important case to highlight that.

Without the presence of separatists on the round-table conference on Kashmir called by the Prime Minister, the entire exercise has turned futile.

The parliamentary board considered her reply today and was of the opinion that her actions amounted to both acts of indiscipline and anti-party activities.

The government prevails on the CBI not to appeal. In the face of this attempt to scuttle the investigations, I think one's conscience should question as to the propriety of what the government and the (Congress) party have been doing and certainly not question the merits of the case.

The views of the Left are being increasingly ignored (by the UPA government). They are becoming directionless. If they continue their support (to the UPA government), they face the prospect of ideological humiliation.

The way the government handled lacks grace...the patchwork has made the issue murkier and murkier.

This grand-standing will not help. This is the confession of a culprit caught red-handed trying to subvert the constitution and democracy.

If the prime minister was in the know of it, then he is equally culpable. If he was not aware, then it is for him to introspect as to what kind of government he is running.

I don't think such a thing should have happened at all. It is extremely unfortunate that such an event has taken place.

This (headcount) is a terrible mistake. The Government must stop this exercise immediately.

The Constitution has defined the office of profit; it is being interpreted by the judiciary and the Election Commission. Now, Parliament should define it.
