I hope that the people will have the courage to stand up for the rule of law. It is now up to the people to see that they can bring about pressure on the government to accept this not as a defeat of government so much as the vindication of the truth. This is the important thing. And as far as the princes are concerned they were called all sorts of names in parliament and elsewhere including traitors and we have always maintained that we have been loyal Indian citizens and I think the Supreme Court will vindicate that position with this decision."
