Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, who has faced criticism in the media for his comments on a wide range of issues, on Saturday said he would not speak to the media for six months. Parrikar has been camped in Goa for the last three days was attending a Government function when he was asked to comment on a whole range of issues, including target killings in Kashmir’s Sopore town and the Rafale deal. The former Goa CM, who rarely shies away from offering a comment to the media, said he was not going to “speak to the media for six months”. However, during his speech he made a fleeting reference to alleged attempts by the media to excessively scrutinise the contents of his speech. “I will not speak much. Because if I speak, people start looking for things (in it),” Parrikar added.
