Ravi Shankar Prasad on Juvenile Justice Act


"You can’t have a cut-off date for crime like you have for government jobs.”


Arun Jaitley on economic policies


“Unless government gets revenue, it cannot build infrastructure and service the welfare schemes for the poor. By being pro-business and pro-poor, I am not contradicting but both have to exist at the same time.”

“Both countries consider each other as friendly nations and it will not be acceptable to us from any angle if one friendly country spies on another friendly country. This is unacceptable to us."

Maneka Gandhi on empowering women


“Little will change on ground unless women make up for 30 percent of the police force and politicians stop husbands of women sarpanches from running the show.”


Maneka Gandhi on harsher punishment for juveniles accused of rapes
