“On behalf of the Ministry, we have undertaken a study of all the pending bills in the Parliament... all pros and cons of those legislation and I will only say this instead of making any specific statements right now, we are having ministerial meetings within our department to see what are the initiatives we need to undertake,” she told reporters.

Noting that she was honoured over the fact that the post was once held by senior party leader Murli Manohar Joshi, Irani said, “for me, it is not a position of authority but a position of service.”

Conscious of the fact that some moves in the ministry during the time of Joshi had come under lot of criticism, she said they would evolve a consensus before arriving on any decisions.

“...every decision that we reach upon is a decision which comes across through consensus, every person, every thought process, every stakeholder shall be consulted,” she said.
