‘hate being spread in the country’, said Iyer
Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar said that I congratulate Muslim brothers and sisters living in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, South Asian countries and other countries Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Britain or America. I am speaking to India where the land welcomes everyone. Everyone should stay happily in this country, everyone should be with peace with each other and one should learn a lot from each other. There is no need for any hatred on this, hatred is being spread in the country.

When Rajiv Gandhi (Prime Minister) became, people thought and I myself thought that they are airline pilots. Has failed twice."
He further said, "I had studied with him at Cambridge University. He (Rajiv) has failed at Cambridge University. It is very difficult to fail at Cambridge University. It is easy to pass the first division there. But, it is very difficult to fail there because the university tries to maintain its image to pass at least. But despite this, Rajiv Gandhi failed. Then he went to Imperial College of London, there failed there again. I thought what such a person had to become Prime Minister."
