SHRI CHANDRA SHEKHAR (Ballia) : Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Murli Manohar Joshiji has raised very important question and just now George Saheb informed that some documents had been prepared. But, the fact is that the documents had been prepared earlier as well and these were placed before the country all of a sudden. Nobody knew about them. Policies were framed and today we are faced with a very grim situation. I do not know whether Jaswant Singhji agrees with the issue raised by Shri Murli Manohar Joshi or whether, on this side, the Hon’ble Home Minister is in agreement with Shri Chidambaram on this issue. This Parliament is in a very strange situation and the policies in the country is also in an equally strange state. Therefore, for us, what Joshiji said assumes great importance. Before some ready-made thing is brought before us, it would be better that we all sit together and throughout the issue by discussion because concealment of facts at this stage would not pay off. There are differences on that side as also on this side.

SHRI CHANDRA SHEKHAR : The quarrel in public in order to agree in private.

Sir, I had read : earlier about them, where they agree and where they do not. We know only through press report and view expressed. If there is agreement even on one side, this will pave way for right decision. If the BJP is in total agreement with this Murli Manohar Joshi, then it pertained well for the country. But this agreement must be lasting so that Murli Manoharji and Somnathji may be able to sit together and discuss the problems of the country. That is the need of the hour but the trouble is that we never agree on any problem. Therefore, there must be atleast area for agreement.
