What is Pratibha's stand on Afzal? GUJARAT Chief Minister Shri Narendrabhai Modi has demanded that before filing her nomination for the office of the President, Smt. Pratibha Patil should make three promises to the citizens: (1) If she assumes the office of the President, she would not make anybody swear, who belongs to foreign origin as a Prime Minister of India. (2) Mastermind and culprit of the attack on the Parliament, Afzal will be hanged according to the verdict of the Supreme Court. (3) Lalu Yadav has remained anti women, he snatched the Women Reservation Bill in Parliament and deprived women their rights. It would be highly unfair if she seeks the vote of Lalu Yadav. Gujarat CM made it clear that if Smt. Patil is in true sense committed to the people of the country and does not want to function as a rubber stamp, she must publicly admit her commitment by offering these three promises. It is really unfortunate that the tough stand adopted by Congress has generated the controversy. Without taking any party into the confidence, Sonia Gandhi wants to impose her personal candidate, which has further complicated the issue, he added. The whole nation wants to see Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam in the highest office again, prominent leader like Shri Bhairon Singh Shekhavat has also lent his support to Dr.Kalam. In order to fulfill the nation?s aspiration. Congress party should come forward for a consensus.
