Uma Bharti speaks on Satyagraha in Ayodhya. Despite heavy dispute and security alert, Uma managed to reach Ayodhya. " I was arrested on 22 october, then they brought me to Banda (UP) including 12 MP's. 20,00 people were arrested. The government could not even provide a cup of tea. The people of Banda arranged everything including food, chai... The day I heard the news, I was a little repenting that I could not reach Ayodhya on 30th as I took an oath that I will be present. When I could not come here, I was so upset and crying in my heart".
