    Eventhough I disagree with Varun’s stand on other issues I really admire this specific utterance. It requires some degree of maturity to accept the doubtful morality of a system of which he himself is a beneficiary.
    Ofcourse I little doubt these words were projected against his cousin who is in a lot better political position than him today. Would he say this if he was in that position today? This lessens the credibility of his statement to a mere political attack for the kinds of which he already is infamous for.
    I would really like to see an echoing statement from Rahul, if he is as mature as his cousin is.
