Parliament House
Laloo Yadav (to Pranab Mukherjee):"You never discuss anything with us. You never seek our opinion."
Amar Singh (to Laloo): "At least you have the railways. We have neither train coaches, nor rural, nor company affairs (ministries). (To Ahmed Patel) Congress gave us nothing despite our support during the confidence vote. You didn’t even accept our demand for appointing our man as the additional solicitor-general because Arun Jaitley opposed it. Who is running this government? You or Jaitley?"
Sharad Pawar: "I am also not satisfied with what my party has been given. We must use this attack to highlight that the Shiv Sena had called for a bandh in Mumbai and insulted Hemant Karkare. Saamna carried an editorial asking people to spit on the ATS officers and their families. This must be brought out. We have to do something about the bullet-proof jackets of the Mumbai police. They can barely stop a revolver bullet, let alone one from an AK-47!"
Pranab Mukherjee: "We have enough evidence of Pakistan’s involvement and are taking it up..."
Parliament House
Jaswant Singh (BJP): "The attack in Mumbai is just a run-up to a much bigger thing. These boys are highly trained and motivated."
Sukhbir Singh Badal (Akali Dal): "I want to start an NSG-like force in my state but we have little funds. Even my escort car breaks down frequently."
V.K. Malhotra (BJP): "We must have POTA and stop votebank politics."
Mulayam Singh Yadav (SP): "The government must prepare an action plan and get back to us in 15 days."
Amar Singh (SP): "We should bomb terrorist camps in Muzaffarabad."
Farooq Abdullah (NC): "I am opposed to military action (against Pakistan). I supported Operation Parakram and it cost our party the election."
Sitaram Yechury (CPI-M): "Why did home minister Shri Shivraj Patil mention on television the time he took off (from Delhi) with the commandos?"
Mulayam Singh Yadav (On Shivraj Patil’s assurance that 88 speedboats for coastal security would be provided in 18 months): "Are the terrorists going to wait for 18 months till we have these boats in place!"
