    "content": "Exactly! Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is something that has come from the JSC; but if you want to argue that anything that come from the JSC and is presented here, we cannot say anything, then there is no need for anything to come from the JSC and be presented in this House. So, whatever it is they have, I think this house still has a right to comment it. We have a right to look at the succession plan. So, the next point is that the Committee observed that whereas the nominee demonstrated the understanding of administration and management, she could not reconcile the same with--- How can one manage an institution well if they cannot reconcile the understanding of management with its strategic plan. Managing an institution means you are steering it in a given direction according to its strategic plan that you have worked on. If at that level you are not even clear what that strategic plan is, then honestly we cannot say that you know management. Again, you find that on the issue of cases that she has handled, you find in a way the Committee itself is wondering whether she is a gate keeper for the State. Although it is put as a question even from the Chair of the Committee itself, what it means is the Committee is worried; we are probably dealing with somebody who is likely to be a gate keeper. Then you turn round and say: “We asked her this question and she said “no”.” Obviously, if you asked me if I am a gate keeper, you do not expect me to say, “Yes, I am a gate keeper and I am always there.” The answer is “no”! I am just reacting to what I have picked from here. Then the again, the coincidence in the case is quite great. Another statement here is also very interesting. Somebody who describes themselves in an institution as an insider. “An insider” are not always a very positive word; it is actually somebody who tends to protect the status quo! I think that is what we are saying. We were also told that there was a case where there was an issue or a clear error of judgment. We were told that this was again explained. I think we may have party"
