Last week in parliament, a 78-year-old member of parliament, TMC's Saugata Roy was told off by 2 ministers for smoking outside parliament building. A day later, he was again asked by reporters to comment on his errant smoking to which he retorted that his one cigarette wasn't going to solve the sundry problems that the government had.
