Derek O’Brien speaks on the clarification by PM on missing coal files

Sir, I am not sure whether this is actually 4.26 p.m. on Wednesday or whether it is 12.38 p.m. on Tuesday. Because the same five MPs had got up, including me, and asked the same seven questions. But I will add two questions to that.

The similarity between yesterday and today is that yesterday we got no answers.

So, I am wondering whether I should conserve energy and not ask the two questions because in any case I won’t get the answers. Same questions I asked yesterday. Hon. Prime Minister on the floor of this House said that ‘He is not the custodian of those files.’ Pray, may I ask very humbly then who is the custodian of those files? This simple question I asked yesterday. Two, whether files go missing or they are made to go missing, there is a timeline maintained of the files till they were not ’missing’, can he present the timeline of those files when they were in custody? These are the two questions.

Derek O’Brien seeks clarifications from the PM on the missing coal files

Just one question, Sir. On the floor of the House last week, the Prime Minister made a statement to say that he is not the custodian of the coal files. My question is: (a) Then, who is the custodian of those coal files? And, (b) To his knowledge when the files went missing, when and where did the files go missing?
