In this unusual
Devil's Advocate programme of
'Role-Reversal',
BJP-Spokes-Person Arun Jaitley as an anchor
interviews, 'The Devil's Advocate', Karan Thapar !
Mr. Jaitley starts with;
"Arun Jaitley: Hello and welcome to an unusual version of the Devil's Advocate. Though an advocate by training, I am not the devil in this interview, because the usual devil is my guest today, the one and only Karan Thapar. Welcome Karan.
Karan Thapar: Thank you."
And in the slog-overs, he bowls the indomitable
Karan out, with this googly, and yet both part as cordial friends, which essentially the spirit of the show
"Devil's Advocate" is !
"Arun Jaitley: Your interviews with Shahid Malik, the Pakistani High
Commissioner and earlier with President Zardari were very civilized one. You
were more polite to them that you are with your Indian guests. Was it the Indian
hospitality?
Karan Thapar (laughs): No, it wasn’t Indian hospitality. In case of Zardari, he was at the other end of the satellite and it’s almost impossible to interrupt someone. In case of Shahid Malik, I could have been extremely aggressive buy would have I achieved the relative openness and candour enterprise that I got?
Arun Jaitley: Well, all I can tell you Karan is we, the Indian politicians, are also looking for such very civil interviews from Karan Thapar.
Karan Thapar: But Arun the best interview was when I quarreled with you and you fought back with me – both you and I enjoyed. That makes for the fun and drama and the nice thing is that you know and I know that we’re actually playing a game with each other. Isn’t that what a good interview is?
Arun Jaitley: Thank you very much, Karan. Be at your best as you always are.
Karan Thapar: Thank you, Arun."
