“देश का एक्सरे करदेंगे, दूध का दूध पानी का पानी होजाएगा, माईनोरिटिस को पता लगेगा की देशमे उनकी भागीदारी कितनी है। इसके बाद हम फाईनैनसिअल और इंस्टिट्यूशनल सर्वे करेंगे ये पता लगाएंगे हिंदुस्तान का धन किसके हाथ में, कौन सी बर्ग के हाथ में है । और इस ऐतिहासिक कदम के बाद, हम क्रांतिकारी काम सुरु करेंगे । जो आपका हक बनता है बो हम आपकेलिये आपको देनेका काम करेंगे”।
When translated, it reads: “Will conduct an X-Ray which will make things more clear. Minorities will come to know their population percentage in the country. Then will do financial & institutional survey, to decide which class is storing the substance in India. Then after this historic move, will give you what you deserve.
