MR. SPEAKER: There is no time. श्री लालू प्रसाद : अब जब आप हमें नहीं बोलने दे रहे हैं, तो हम बैठ ही जाते हैं।
SHRI RAJESH PILOT (DAUSA): Sir, the Home Minister is here. Eighteen people have been killed in Punch this morning. Is it a fact? We have just had the information that 18 people have been killed in Punch today morning. Is it a fact that 35 people were killed yesterday, and 18 people were killed this morning?
THE MINISTER OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI L.K. ADVANI): The information that we have received is that 18 relatives of a surrendered militant named Imtiaz have been shot down by a single unidentified gunman. This is the brief message that I have received. It may be an internal affair. I do not know. We are trying to get the full facts. But these are the relatives of a former militant by name Imtiaz. This is the information which I have with me.
MR. SPEAKER: Shri Mohan Rawale, the hon. Minister for Home Affairs is going to reply. Please take your seat.
SHRI L.K. ADVANI: Sir, I will try to be as brief as I can. प्रो. सैफ़ुद्दीन सोज़ (बारामूला): इससे पहले मेरा प्रोटेस्ट होना चाहिए। ... (व्यवधान) आपका आदेश है।
... (व्यवधान) लेकिन मैंने नहीं बोला।
... (व्यवधान)
I am a party here. ... (Interruptions) All parties have spoken. I have not spoken a word. Why? ... (Interruptions) कोई तो उसूल हो।
... (व्यवधान) आप एक मिनट दे दीजिए।
... (व्यवधान) अध्यक्ष महोदय : टाइम नहीं है।
SHRI L.K. ADVANI: I am just being told by Shri Ram Naik that Shri Somnath Chatterjee made a reference to it. I am sorry, I was in the other House. I shall certainly see this letter and then convey to you the exact position. ... (Interruptions)
SHRI SOMNATH CHATTERJEE : It was sent on 30th July as an urgent letter.
SHRI L.K. ADVANI: I have not seen it.
SHRI SOMNATH CHATTERJEE : The Minister should then pull up his office. The Minister is looking after the internal security of this country. The Ministry is under him and he does not get an important letter from the Leader of a Party in the House. Is this the way the Government is functioning? This is a very serious matter. Things have been done in a very casual way. I cannot accept it and in protest I am walking out.
