(Dr.) Khalwale:- “maybe we might not need a President who is democratic.” That is a dangerous statement coming from Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, because we do need a President who is democratic. So, is he in order to suggest that a country which the preamble of its Constitution states that this is a democratic country, say that type of a thing? I have tried not to raise it but my conscience would not rest."}
