RS: Nitish Kumar said that in public life, you have to wear both tilak and skull caps. You have to take care of sentiments of others.
Modi: If he thinks that it helps in taking care of sentiments then it's his thought. I believe that their children should get better education. They should have Quran in one hand and computer in the other hand.
RS: You had said, “We are human beings. It pains even when a puppy comes under my car.”
Modi: In our country we say it pains even if an ant dies. These are proverbs. This should not be interpreted otherwise. And you should know that the person who had taken my interview, despite being a foreigner, had tweeted that I did not mean anything like that. But the news traders, and am not talking about media, used this to sell their stuff.
RS: Azam Khan while referring to you has said today that we don't need the sympathy of Modi, the elder brother of puppies.
Modi: I should say- thank you very much- to him because the loyalty of dogs is unparalleled. I'm proud that somebody saw this quality in me that will benefit the country.
