"Up to now China has been the most populated country. In this great productivity India has been victorious.

"And, Nani Palkhiwala, you say India has not done anything? It has produced just like rats!

"I have hearda man was reading a newspaper in which it was said that amongst every five people there is one Chinaman. His wife heard it, and she said, 'My God! That means now no more children, because four I have already produced, and I don't want any Chinaman among my children.'

"This is no longer true. Amongst five people in the world, one is an Indian.

"This explosion of population is not a small achievement. It has doubled India's poverty; it is more poor than ever.

"And, Nani Palkhiwala, you say India has done nothing in these forty-two years? It has topped the whole world.

"Secondly, just after the hanging of an innocent poor man, Kehar Singh, without any evidence at all, you still say India has saved its democracy? When justice dies, democracy cannot live.

"You must be fully aware of the fact that the government has created a separate law in the name of national security, which is not under the common law of the country. You can be simply put in jail forever; there is no appeal, there is no court. From the lowest court to the Supreme Court, you cannot do anything; it is beyond law. And whenever, in any country, something like this exists, you cannot call that country democratic.

"What kind of democracy is this?

"And you are perfectly aware that 'National Security' is nothing but another name for Emergency. Just by changing names, who does the government want to deceive? They don't even pronounce the whole name, National Security Act, they call it only 'N.S.A.' – not to make people aware that side by side with the common law of the country there exists a higher power which is beyond the scope of the common law.

"Just in this case of Kehar Singh's hanging. His son was absolutely certain that he was innocent, and the government had failed to provide any evidence. The son was working in the secretariat of the government itself, in the Central Government in New Delhi."
