*\u2026*\u00a0\u00a0 Note recorded  <\/p>\n
SHRI PRANAB MUKHERJEE<\/a>: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Members would have seen reports in the Press today about a purported statement by our Ambassador in Washington about the consideration of the India-US bilateral civil nuclear energy cooperation agreement.\u00a0 I have contacted our Ambassador who has informed me that certain comments, either deliberately or through misunderstanding, were published by the Correspondent.\u00a0 The Correspondent has also misquoted our Ambassador in several respects.  <\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I have asked our Ambassador to issue a clarification.\u00a0 These comments, if made by our Ambassador, and reported correctly, are totally unwarranted and unacceptable.\u00a0 In democracy, there will always be dissension and divergence of opinions.\u00a0 Nobody can accuse others who hold divergent views.\u00a0 I regret the alleged comments which have hurt the feelings of the hon. Members.\u00a0Most respectfully I would like to submit this.  <\/p>\n

You are behaving like irresponsible people.\u00a0 I am sorry to say that.\u00a0 The Minister has placed entirely the Government\u2019s stand on this.\u00a0He has already said that it is unwarranted if it has been said.\u00a0 He has denied it in the statement.\u00a0 You wait for this.\u00a0 Can you behave like this in anticipation? \u2026 (Interruptions)  <\/p>\n
SHRI KINJARAPU YERRANNAIDU <\/a>(SRIKAKULAM<\/a>): Sir, it is very shameful. \u2026 (Interruptions)  <\/p>\n
MR. SPEAKER<\/a>:\u00a0 If he has said that, I shall take action.\u00a0 Parliament is not so powerless. Please sit down.\u00a0 Only one newspaper, not even a news agency, has reported.   <\/p>\n

SHRI L.K. ADVANI <\/a>(GANDHINAGAR<\/a>):\u00a0 Mr. Speaker, Sir, so far as the Government\u2019s stand is concerned, I have no complaint. But I would like this House to know and to have the full text of the interview that has been given to this particular channel, namely,\u00a0 Rediffnews, because simply denying and saying: \u201cIt is not exactly\u00a0 what I have said\u201d would not be enough.\u00a0 Many people may have been shocked to hear that MPs, who have been opposing this deal, have been described as \u2018headless chickens\u2019\u2026 (Interruptions)  <\/p>\n
MR. SPEAKER<\/a>:\u00a0 Hon. Leader of the Opposition, let us wait for the text.  <\/p>\n
SHRI L.K. ADVANI <\/a>: Yes, yes.\n<\/p>\n
MR. SPEAKER<\/a>:\u00a0 I would allow you at that time.\u00a0 Let it be confirmed.  <\/p>\n
SHRI\u00a0 L.K. ADVANI <\/a>: I would urge the Leader of the House that let the House be given the full text of the interview that the Ambassador has given. After that, we will make a considered comment on it; and then demand whatever action we think appropriate.  <\/p>\n
MR. SPEAKER<\/a>:\u00a0 That is fair enough.\n<\/p>\n
