Forget Congress, accuse Congress with whatever language is at the command of the BJP. I do not mind. Mr. Prime Minister, I give you one information. Do not believe our report, do not believe what I say, but believe what media says. The Chief Minister was interviewed on 2nd March between 10 o’clock and 11 o’clock in Gandhinagar, the Capital of Gujarat, the constituency of your Home Minister, Shri L.K. Advani. After the interview of the Chief Minister, the Star TV news anchor known to everyone, Shri Rajdeep Sardesai left the residence. He was on his way to Ahmedabad. Within one and a half kilometres, his car was stopped. By whom? Not by Shri Somnath Chatterjee, not by your Minister, but by the VHP people with trishul. They hit his windscreen and said that they wanted to find who were there in the car. Shri Sardesai replied that they were journalists. He asked them to show the identity, whether he was a Hindu or a Muslim. Shri Sardesai told he was a Hindu, Rajdeep Sardesai. He further asked him to show his identity card, which he showed. He then said that it was not enough and he had to say Jai Shri Ram. Shri Sardesai said Jai Shri Ram. Even that was not enough. He said : "Remember, do not bring any Muslim photographer or Muslim journalist." So, the Star TV had to send the signal of packing up to all the Muslim journalists and photographers from Gujarat. Is it a good matter, Mr. Prime Minister? Is it in consonance with the resolution that we adopted after 13th December attack on Parliament? Is it in consonance with the spirit that you talk to your Cabinet colleagues? Is there not something wrong which is hitting you from inside? We are not hitting you, Mr. Prime Minister. The Opposition is not hitting you. You are being hit, the secular fabric is being hit from within yourself, which you cannot guard. Mr. Rajdeep said "what else?". They said : "Sorry, the day is over, मेरी ख्वाहिश थी कि एक मुसलमान को मारूं। मिला नहीं गाड़ी में। " It is not my statement.

We should not allow such kind of an official in the Government who is a determined pracharak, whose head, heart and mind is to implement the agenda of Shakha and spoil the office of the Constitution. Such persons are blot on the Constitution, Mr. Prime Minister.

Such incidents are a blot on the nation but such elements to head the Government is a blot on the Constitution.
