<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Gandhian leader's unGandhian act </b>
Sonia Sarkar/ New Delhi
Hosting a dinner party at Rajghat with funds from the Samadhi Committee account? That's exactly what "veteran Gandhian" and Samadhi Committee co-chairperson Nirmala Deshpande did when she consented to a dinner party in the honour of self-exiled MQM founder-leader Altaf Hussein, neither a peacenik nor a Gandhian.

<b>A note dated November 10 asking for arrangements for a dinner party was put-up by panel secretary and an approval given by Ms Deshpande for Rs 14,000.</b>

The note (The Pioneer is in possession of it) written by Mr Rajnish Kumar in Hindi stated: "To make Indo-Pak relations strong, Altaf Hussein has come to Delhi... He will come to Rajghat at 7 pm on November 12, 2004. Special guests will participate with him. Arrangements will have to be made for about 100 persons.<b> Evergreen Caterers have been assigned the work as per the menu approved by you. A total of Rs 14,000 has been fixed for food, tent, lighting and others. Approval may be given for this." Ms Deshpande signed the note, saying "approved."</b>

Though Hussein visited Rajghat, at the last minute the dinner was shifted to Ms Deshpande's residence at AB-98, Shahjahan Road. A bouquet and a shawl were presented to him by Ms Deshpande.

<b>All expenses were made out of the Rajghat Samadhi Committee account. (Voucher number 61 dated November 16.)</b>

Hussein was neither a State guest nor invited by the Government as he is in self-exile in London for the last 13 years. Maintaining an armed cadre, <b>Hussein's MQM has repeatedly indulged in urban terrorism in the name of lending a voice to mohajirs</b>.

A man declared an "absconder" in his home country, however managed to visit the samadhi of the Father of the Nation on his very first visit to India, thanks to Ms Deshpande. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
