Human Resource Development Minister Smriti Irani on Saturday said that her way of functioning in the government was not rude rather it was her duty to act with everyone in a certain sense of decorum and sensibility.
"My behaviour of functioning in the government is not at all rude. Infact, behaving in a certain sense of decorum and sensibility is my duty," Irani said in an interview to Times Now channel.
