These are our relations with the people. You have only the name of the People (Interruptions). The Prime Minister was not here when I said that we expected a little more content in the document. Our party represents certain integrated policies. You cannot say that the economic policy can be separated from the internal policy or the internal policy can be separated from the external policy. Economic policy, educational policy, industrial policy, defence policy, are in integrated coordinated whole and so, you will have to take a view of the whole matter. Therefore, we wanted to see the glimpse of it. We heard something of what you proposed to do about the Constitution etc. We had heard about it. Just now I heard the lecture of Shri Hegde M. P. from Karnataka on the law of property; he was talking about the liberty of the people. Mostly he talked about the law of property and the right to property.
.... Then, Sir, the Finance Minister while speaking the other day, was referring to the document which did not represent the philosophy and policy and the programmes of this Government. I wanted to know what philosophy and programmes and policies he had really in his mind. Because I find a number of philosophies sitting before me. This point, which I am talking about, is very serious. Mr. Speaker, Sir, through you I would like to know what is their philosophy, what is their programme and policy? Can anyone say with hand on heart that the disciples of Ram Manohar Lohia can completely give up identity and join with Jan Sangh? Can I ever imagine that those who have accepted Marxist philosophy as their social, economic and life philosophy can ever go and integrate themselves with Swatantraites like Shri. H. M. Patel.
....Sir, I was trying to say that this Janata Party, if they want to work as one party, certainly they can try. I wish them good luck.
....But they must learn something from those who have wielded power for thirty years. We have made mistakes but we have also made major contributions towards building India. My piece of advice is that all those old habits, which they formed while working in the Opposition parties, during the last thirty years may be forgotten by them now. Do not go on repeating your stories of successes in the election. Do not merely go on abusing Congress for the emergency because it is no longer there. I am trying to tell you that people after taking contrary view about a certain situation namely emergency, have put you in a seat of responsibility on probation. Please take my words. Fortunately you have got a good leader.
Shri Jyotirmoy Bosu : Earlier he was your leader also.
Shri. Y. B. Chavan : Because I know him that is why I am giving him this certificate, which I am sure, he does not need. I hope you will make good use of him.
Sir, What I am trying to say - the Prime Minister was not present yesterday is that now a series of economic conferences will soon be held and we will be participating in the economic co-operation conferences. We are one of the leading nations among the developing countries which have certain responsibilities to take a lead in certain mattes. So, please don’t damage India’s reputation in the economic field and political field. That will not help us.
