Bansal Defends Home Minister Amid Opposition Claims

When opposition leaders alleged that the Home Minister was avoiding questions, Bansal refuted the accusation, stating that the minister’s responsibilities are covered by the Minister of State for Home Affairs when the cabinet minister is absent. He emphasized that collective responsibility of the council of ministers ensures that any minister, or their deputy, can answer queries on behalf of the department. Bansal accused the opposition of politicising the issue for mileage rather than seeking genuine answers.
