Arun Shourie was one of the enlightened members of Atal Behari Vajpaye's cabinet and I fully endorse his views.
People who have views similar to Shourie would never find place in Modi's cabinet.
Why, even Atal Behari Vajpayee would never have found place in Modi's cabinet.
Modi likes to be surrounded by rabble rousing murderers and rapists
