SHRI SHIVRAJ V. PATIL: I am sorry, I have to say this thing.  He had been the Home Minister.  He is quoting the DGPs’ conference.
SHRI L.K. ADVANI : I did not quote anyone else except these two.
SHRI SHIVRAJ V. PATIL: Before he became the Home Minister, the media was not allowed to cover it and he is discussing selectively whatever was discussed there, picking a sentence from one speech and then quoting it.  This is not really helping the country to provide a proper security.  At least, I do not expect this from him.
After that, hilariously they campaigned throughout the country saying who won the Kargil war. Then, I quote from Call to Honour. How this Government was feeling so warm in dealing with Kargil? Who gave this certificate? The Kargil Review Committee gave the certificate against the Government. Do you know what type of wonderful certificate they got?[MSOffice30]               I quote from page 229 :
“On 4 January 2000, Strobe Talbott wrote me a letter in which he very sincerely shared his views. ‘During Kargil, India held fast to the moral high ground throughout the crisis, in the face of enormous provocation, and resisted the temptation to take retaliatory steps which would at best have cost India its unprecedented international support.’ That was not all. During the Bangkok Asian Regional Forum Meet on 27 July 2000, I met Madeleine Albright, again. Unlike 1998, she greeted me with great warmth, and I got the appropriate hug and kiss on my cheeks. She was graceful and complimentary. ‘Jaswant, it was a masterly handling of the Kargil crisis. You did not put a foot wrong.’ ”               That was your legacy. That was your credential that you felt, whether the countrymen thank you or not, whether your report thanks you or not, if somebody hugs and kisses that you did the right thing at the right moment, that is your certificate. We do not carry this certificate. We carry the certificate of the masses. You see how we deal with it.
            I do not know why Shri Advaniji every time tried to carry some word in his speech which is a louder message. It is the RSS’ interpretation – I have been reading the article – that the message must be subtle, very quiet and wider meaning should be carried by the wise person. In the discussion during the last Adjournment Motion on the Doda massacre, Shri Advaniji began to say that Doda is a religious cleansing. You may recall. I cannot quote. It is here with me.
            Then in his Sankalp Yatra before the Parliament starts, the main campaign was not Sankalp for the poor people, not Sankalp for the hard-hit farmers but the Sankalp or the main slogan of the Sankalp Yatra was - अफज़ल को फ़ांसी दो।

SHRI PRIYA RANJAN DASMUNSI : Sir, I repeat the popular quote of Shri Advani. It is such a popular quote of Shri Advani that I cannot avoid my temptation to quote it whenever I take part in a debate. Shri Advani said -- when they were in the Government -- in the Parliament in his reply :
