"A Home Minister should talk less, work more", responds Rajnath Singh to a question about him being very reticent. Commenting on the controversial Ishrat Jehan encounter case, he says he has instituted an inquiry to investigate the disappearance of important case papers from the files, while agreeing it being the first case in independent India on which the Intelligence Bureau and the Central Bureau of Investigation had clashed. Opining on question of National Investigative Agency's autonomy he says, "Under the current government, the NIA has the maximum autonomy". Mr Singh reminisces his days as a party president working in the National Democratic Alliance government of 1999 and says Atal Bihari Vajpayee is a man of high morals and is very well respected, adding that he and Advaniji were instrumental in bringing up the stature of the BJP in the country. On Narendra Modi's style of working, he comments that the country has seen unprecedented progress under PM's leadership.
