New Delhi, Apr. 21: Veteran socialist leader and erstwhile president of the Janata Dal (United), George Fernandes, has complained bitterly about the incumbent party leadership for sidelining him and preventing him from voicing concerns about issues pertaining to Bihar in particular, and the nation overall.
New Delhi, Sept. 24 : Criticizing columnists for suggesting that certain sections of Indian society should be encouraged to dismember the country because of some so called “adverse” administrative decisions, former Defence Minister George Fernandes has said that India’s geographical boundaries cannot be redrawn because of the desires of such secessionists.
In an article that appears in “The Other Side”, a journal of socialist though and action, Fernandes said: “A few feature articles in newspapers and magazines cannot redraw the geography of India overnight just to show that we are radical and fashionable.”
