What was the consensus view? or, for that matter whcih POINT was hotly debated?

I still fail to see why Barkha is so eager to get a hot potch of lots of irrelevant points, instead of just guiding the debate in a single direction. At the end of the day, there was no assurance from the minister, we still do not have a clear picture of the nexus underbelly and the insider-outsider debate will leave many who are unaware of these growing undercurrents of resentment confused. To make things worse, more airtime was given to Alexio Sequiera than to someone like Oscar Rebello who had crisper, meaningful and more relevant points to make. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
