The Prime Minister said during the speech in the Rajya Sabha, "The people of Goa must have listened to me. The way Sardar Patel made a strategy for Hyderabad, he made a strategy for Junagadh.

My image in the world will be spoiled, this pundit Nehru was thinking.

My brothers and sisters of India were being fired upon, then our Prime Minister had said that I am the army of the country. I will not send. Congress will not send any help to help the Satyagrahis. Many brave sons of the country had to be sacrificed for the independence of Goa."
