    "content": "Let me respond to Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. First, on the issue of a joint resolution, as I said, this matter is about 14 days. It is a matter where Parliament – both Houses – need to be involved. I have given the urgency in terms of the limited 14 days period so that our Committee which was responsible and the Committee of the National Assembly, which was responsible, could actually meet. I felt that it did not require a resolution, because it was already going to the respective Committees of the Houses. We are not constituting new Committees. Secondly, on the 21 days, that is the period that I am giving the Committee in terms of taking the matter forward for further interrogation. It is not affecting the 14 days period of vetting the existing nominee. It is an admission that given the need for Parliament to work within 14 days in the bicameral system, this was a one-off thing given the circumstances. I have stated that it is not a precedent. We could have gone even the other way, if we had the time."
