When the Chairman of House sought some clarity on the query, Naik repeated, "Isn't a law worth having if through it research could be to done to have Gandhi in a cloned form, with all his qualities -- honesty, dedication and simplicity?

Responding to Naik, Minister of State for Health Dinesh Trivedi simply said, what was required is "to adopt his principles, which we all are trying to do".
