"Half way through, they realised that by raising such a debate it is going negative on them and boomeranging. "I feel that those who started the debate are now understanding that it is going negative, that is why they are finding excuse for not allowing the discussion. They are not coming out openly either for or against. But if somebody is trying to question this and attribute motives, then people are there to finally come to an assessment and decide. Let every party decide are they in favour of this move or against it, for which they have no answer directly," the minister said.
