The word “stray bullet” is now a euphemism for negligence. It is now synonymous with saying that, the way you can be bitten by a stray dog is the same way you can be harmed by a stray bullet. There is nothing in law or otherwise that justifies the Statement that you cannot pay because that was a stray bullet. It is as if the bullet walked from the gun and found somebody somewhere. The Chairperson must clarify the provisions of law under which a statement of this nature can be made to Parliament. We know that this is discharge of a bullet through negligence."}
