To a question on her assessment of the situation involving Madhabi Puri Buch, the minister said: "Quite a few of the allegations have been answered... I think the facts will have to be taken on board." This is for the first time that Sitharaman has spoken on the issue.

On being asked whether she was satisfied with Madhabi Puri Buch's answers, Sitharaman said, “I and not here to judge that.”
