THE MINISTER OF DEFENCE (SHRI RAJ NATH SINGH) responding to the issue raised by several hon.

THE MINISTER OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS AND MINISTER OF OVERSEAS INDIAN AFFAIRS (SHRIMATI SUSHMA SWARAJ): On the issue which was raised yesterday in the House, I, with utmost responsibility and categorically and equivocally would like to inform this House that the Government of India has no connection to the visit by Shri Ved Prakash Vaidik to Pakistan or his meeting with Hafiz Saeed there. Neither before leaving for Pakistan nor at his arrival there, he informed the Government that he was to meet Hafiz Saeed there. This was his purely private visit and meeting. It has been alleged here that he was somebody‟s emissary, somebody‟s disciple or the Government of India had facilitated the meeting. This is totally untrue as well as unfortunate. I would like to reiterate that the Government of India has no relation to it whatsoever. *MATTERS UNDER RULE 377 (i) SHRI BHARAT SINGH laid a statement regarding need to start work on multipurpose project for development of various facilities in Ballia Parliamentary constituency, Uttar Pradesh.

    Indian Railways Budget Speech 1996-97 (Final) Speech of Shri Ram Vilas Paswan Introducing the Railway Budget, for 1996-97, 16th July, 1996 Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to present the Budget Estimates for 1996-97 for the Indian Railways. 2. On 27th February, 1996, the previous Government had presented an interim budget. At that time, approval for 'Vote-on-Account' for the first four months of this financial year for railways' expenditure was obtained. 3. Mr. Speaker, this is the first Railway Budget of the United Front Government. On the one hand, I praise the vastness of the railways, its contribution to the nation's progress alongwith the efficiency of railway employees; on the other hand I would like to present before the august House the challenges and difficulties which the railways face. 4. The United Front Government assumed office on 1st June, 1996. As a result, I had very less time to present the Railway Budget. During this short period, I tried to talk to more and more Hon'ble members and visit various States to know their problems. But despite my best efforts, I could not discuss the problems with all the Hon'ble members. However, I have tried to understand and solve their problems. I assure the Hon'ble members that these efforts would continue and those important projects which could not be taken up due to technical difficulties and want of time, I would definitely consider them in the Supplementary Demands for Grants in the next session. 5. On 16th April, 1853, a railway train reached Thane from Bombay after negotiating a small distance.
