		Arun Shourie: Milk could be made to boil many time over, provided you identify the state policy by the unit of the individual and you identify the beneficiary individual by economic criteria.

	The Hindu : National : Arun Shourie rebuts CAG's observations
		Shourie said the "standards of evidence and scrutiny" applied by CAG "seem to differ a great deal" if one were to consider the CAG report (of May 2004) on disinvestment in the Delhi Vidyut Board (DVB) by the Congress Government of Delhi.
		Shourie said during an interaction with The Hindu that at every stage of disinvestment in all enterprises, decisions were taken after consultations with a committee of joint secretaries, a committee of secretaries headed by the Cabinet Secretary, the Cabinet Committee on Disinvestment and finally the Cabinet itself, as had been the practice since 1991.
		Shourie said that in many instances of disinvestment, including that of Centaur, opponents of the disinvestment policy employed threats, violence and obstruction, leading to the withdrawal of potential bidders and leaving a single bidder in the field.

	Welcome to the first Bengali Webzine !
		Arun Shourie, a minister in the present BJP government in India, and sometime editor of the Indian Express newspaper, came to Boston this summer to accept a prestigious award.
		While Shourie's invitation to MIT came ostensibly from the MIT Indian student club, Sangam, a non-political umbrella group that organises many events in the Boston-Cambridge area, his lecture was managed largely by two rather different organisations: the Overseas Friends of the BJP (OFBJP) and the India Association of Greater Boston (IAGB).
		The final nail in the coffin of Arun Shourie's commitment to free expression must, of course, be his own writings concerning the freedom of expression of missionaries and evangelicals.

		Upon inquiry, Shourie was told by the ICHR that the remaining balance is yet to be paid because a "formal manuscript in this regard is yet to be received." In other words, Bipin Chandra had taken whatever money he could without producing anything.
		Shourie writes (pp 15-16): "Later I learnt that the Rs 75,000/- which had been allotted to this "eminent historian" for this project - "the Oral History Project" - had been but a part, a small part of the total take.

		The measure which had the full backing of Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had to be put in the abort mode because of strong resistance from the Telecom Minister Arun Shourie, usually an advocate of reforms.
		Shourie, seizing upon the lingering doubts about the ownership of Jet Airways, invoked the same security concern which had recently been brandished to torpedo his initiative for higher FDI in the telecom sectors.
		The development, a serious setback to the loss-incurring Jet Airways and Air Sahara, came as a surprise since the matter was put on the top of the pile to be cleared by the Cabinet at what is widely reckoned to be its last meeting at the personal instance of Vajpayee.
