Legal Corner Icon — the image was hosted by the publisher and was not captured.Pawan Kumar Bansal is not very well known as the Minister of State for Finance, but is apparantly concerned about Finance – of the Nation. In response to the call by the Prime Minister for austerity, he has surrendered the official car attached to him.
When ministers travel in large convoys, it is nice to see a minister surrendering his car. Though this would hardly make any difference in our huge fuel shortage, the gesture is exemplary and if all ministers and officers behave like servants of the poor people of India , it would certainly make a difference.
Incidentally, Bansal still lives in his MP's quarters and has not moved into his ministerial bungalow. Bansal like his illustrious senior colleague PC, is a lawyer.
