Government will play by the rulebook and ensure that absolute standards of probity are maintained, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said as the Opposition continued its attack over the Lalit Modi controversy. Jaitley also said there is no question at all about the government going on the back foot on this issue, as it has done nothing wrong. The Finance Minister also said that the reforms can even take place outside Parliament, but its smooth functioning was important for many other reasons.
