Kapil Sibal: This is not a question about being happy or unhappy. The question is the PM.... you can't even imagine the number of things the PM has to do, and for his attention to be diverted with respect to a man who is only interested in political one upmanship...
Barkha Dutt: Subramanian Swamy you mean right?
Kapil Sibal: Whatever....one upmanship...and for him to be distracted and more important things of the nation being put aside, I think is very unfortunate for the nation. It belittles our nation that people like these can actually try to destabilise the system.
Barkha Dutt: Why do you think Subramanian Swamy is trying to destabilise the system? Irrespective of what your opinions are of him as a politician or an individual, he argues that his is completely within his legal right under the prevention of corruption act to seek sanction for prosecution because he already has the available material to prosecute A Raja.
Kapil Sibal: Wonderful. You hit the nail on the head. You used the word sanction for prosecution, but before you seek sanction for prosecution there is an investigation.
Barkha Dutt: He says he's done that investigation.
Kapil Sibal: No no. He's not CBI. Is he the CBI, or has God given him the authority to investigate on behalf of India, and to attack all the criminals in India? What's the writ? Has the court given him a writ? Look we appoint you an investigator, you can be an investigator, I can be an investigator. Look lots of Indians in this country can say, but if the law admits that, why not.
Barkha Dutt: Isn't it paradoxical that the CAG report speaks about Raja bypassing the Prime Minister? This is not me, this is the CAG report. On the other hand there is a situation, perhaps because of the political mismanagement with the Prime Minister getting ensnared in the controversy. Wouldn't the controversy end if the Prime Minister just spoke? Why doesn't he speak?
Kapil Sibal: If the Prime Minister spoke, Subramanian Swami will speak much louder and more often. I don't know...
Barkha Dutt: So that why he's not speaking?
Kapil Sibal: No, it's not that. See, why are you expecting the Prime Minister to do A or B. Let there be a debate in Parliament. The Prime Minister will do what's best.

That may be good oratory skills of leader. However is it not the responsibility of Prime Minister's office to respond to important and precious resource allocation, which has hundreds of employees paid with public money? Read also full article and there are at least four investigative agencies CBI, PAC, JPC and CAG. We need a system where investigation proceeds faster and does not last two years in important issues like this.
