Uproar in Parliament over Ramdev’s aid’s meeting with Hafiz Saeed

The parliament was once again adjourned today after chaos over a controversial meeting between Pak terrorist Hafiz Saeed and a journalist close to baba Ramdev.

Freelance journalist Ved Pratap Vaidik met the26/11 mastermind and Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed in Lahore on July 2 when he was touring Pakistan.

Congress leader Digvijaya Singh, tweeted, “Ved Pratap Vedik meets Hafiz Sayeed. Any reaction on Social Media? Did he go as an Envoy of NDA Govt or as a personal Envoy of PM?”

BJP maintained his distance from the meeting by saying government cannot control journalist’s activity.

“The government has nothing to do with any journalist’s activity in his individual capacity,” Arun Jaitley said in the Rajya Sabha.

Reacting to this Vaidik said, “I have never been a special envoy for any PM, I am my own envoy.”

He said he met Saeed as “a journalist must meet all kinds of people.” adding, “For a journalist, no one is untouchable. I wanted to prove him wrong and influence his thinking.”

“I asked him (Saeed), are all these countries mindless? He told me former home minister of Pakistan Rehman Malik conspired against him because America wanted him. He arrested him because they wanted the money,” Vaidik said.
