Tewari dares Tandon to debate on nat’l security

At another event, Tewari, reacting to a statement by BJP candidate Sanjay Tandon, dared him to a debate on national security. He also reiterated his offer for debate on any issue, including the national security.

Responding to Tandon’s question on Tewari’s views on national security, the latter said, “I have written a book on national security, ‘10 Flash Points, 20 Years; National Security Situations that Impacted India’ and more than 1,000 articles on the subject,”

He reiterated his challenge that he was welcome to debate the issue at the time and venue of his choosing, and it could be monitored by some security expert.

He also trashed the claims of Tandon that the Congress would take away the right of reservation from the SCs, STs and BCs.
