FM's Reply to 3G Speech
IN his reply, the FM was at his witty best.
There are many firsts that Jairam Ramesh scored including his demand for a discussion on the CAG report on a state PSU in the central legislature.
I think he is the first Congressman to score a new first. He is the first Congressman who has the history to publicly praise Dr Subramanian Swamy. He advised me to consult him. I am conscious of the experience and wisdom of Dr Swamy. He first became the member of this house in 1974.
He is a well-known economist. I will certainly consult him but I must compliment the courage and conviction of Jairam Ramesh that whereas he concentrated on 3-Gs, he probably let down the fourth one inasmuch as he indulged in this new misadventure of doing what he did today.
Another first that he has scored is that he is the first MP to tell the Supreme Court that you must start interfering in the speaker's and chairperson's ruling with regard to the conduct of the business of the House.
