He was responding when asked about the government dropping the anti-piracy SUA law against the two marines and who botched up the case. R K Singh was the Home Secretary then.
Asked why the government dropped the anti-piracy charges, Khurshid said that it was very difficult for anybody to say if the Italians were pirates.

"The government told the courts that these were Italian marines who, in their course of duty, have caused damage to our citizens including loss of life. Therefore they must be made accountable," he said.
Referring to the former home secretary, Khurshid said that a person whose whose views and versions have been vindicated by courts should answer why he had different view.
Replying to a question whether the government has gone soft on the case, Khurshid said that people who were soft in their heads were making allegations.
