The questions in Parliament are answered as though they are making remarks on a office file. Every answer is short and business like with no personal touch. The babu's nothings are read out by the minister concerned without understanding either the question or the answer. The person asking the question must be expecting a favourable or unfavourable answer. So he himself can elaborate the answer and list them as a, b, c, and d. The minister can answer it objectively by tick marking it.
