Here are some excerpts from the interview: BBC: Can you assure the Muslim community that your party is not against them? Gadkari: If our party were against the Muslims, why would we nominate Dr. Abdul Kalam as the president of the country? BBC: Dr Abdul Kalam was surely made the President but how would your party wash the blemish of Gujarat riots?
