Capt Laxmi Sahgal of the Azad Hind Fauj today snubbed Chief Minister Manohar Joshi who rushed to her as she made her way to the Martyrs Memorial at August Kranti Maidan. Joshi had perhaps made an attempt to touch her feet, when the sprightly lady said, 8220;Nahin, aap mere pas mat aiye. Main aapke liye nahin aai hoon. Main Ushaben ke liye aai hoon8221; . No, you don8217;t come near me. I have not come because of you, but to meet Ushaben.A red-faced chief minister then stated rather blandly, 8220;Haan, mujhe maloom hain Yes, I know8221;.
Sahgal however refused to talk to the press.
