New Delhi, May 16 :    New Delhi, May 16:  Though Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee admitted he had interpolated a word in a portion of his speech in Goa, Speaker Manohar Joshi today rejected a privilege motion against him for allegedly misleading the Lok Sabha on a reference to Muslims. In his notice, Priya Ranjan Das Munshi stated that Vajpayee, while seeking to clarify misgivings about certain portions of a public speech made by him in Goa, had stated on the floor of the House on May 1, 'What I said about Islam is as follows... Wherever such Muslims live, they tend not to mingle with others; instead of propagating their ideas in a peaceful manner, they want to spread their faith by resorting to terror and threats.' Das Munshi claimed that in the video recording of Vajpayee's speech in Goa, the word 'such' had not been used before the word 'Muslims' and by this interpolation, an attempt was made to alter the meaning of the sentence. While accepting the Speaker's verdict, the Congress claimed moral victory, saying Vajpayee had admitted to inserting a word 'such' before 'Muslims.' In his clarification before the Speaker, Vajpayee, however, emphasised that the spirit of his speech had implied what he had stated in the Lok Sabha: that there were two types of Islam, one tolerant and the other jihadi. The Prime Minister further clarified that he meant no disrespect to Islam. Vajpayee told the Speaker that no one who read the entire Goa speech had any doubt that his reference was about followers of 'militant Islam'. Vajpayee also pointed out that the PMO had issued a clarification on his behalf on April 14 and also released the text of his speech to the media with the necessary correction. 'It is this corrected version from which I read the relevant paragraphs while speaking on (the) Gujarat situation in the wee hours of May 1, 2002,' he said. Joshi observed that he had received the clarification from Vajpayee. In his ruling, the Speaker said: 'I am inclined to accept the clarification given by the Prime Minister. No question of privilege is, therefore, involved in the matter. The notice of Priya Ranjan Das Munshi is disallowed.'
