I did subscribe to the freedom movement and I was much closer to the Congress than to the Akali party. It is a communal party.

I am prolific. Any rubbish I write gets published, so books keep churning out.

I have never lost my temper. I let out my venom in my writing if I have to, but person-to-person, I have never lost my temper, never used abusive language.
