"...I can tell you that I am not satisfied with whatever he had said. Rather I am disappointed," Swaraj told reporters after meeting Chidambaram in New Delhi.
The BJP leader, however, refused to disclose the details of her meeting with the Home Minister saying "what transpired in the meeting was between me and the Home Minister, I am not going to disclose it. At least, I would like to respect the sentiments in which the letter was written.
"But I have requested him one thing. If he accedes to that then it will be better," she said without elaborating.
Asked about her accusation against Chidambaram of making public the letter written to her by him, she said "As far as my allegation is concerned (leakage of the letter), he himself accepted it. I told him that it was not a leakage, but it was officially uploaded in the website".
On Wednesday, Swaraj had accused the Home Minister of making public a letter he (Chidambaram) had written to her regarding security arrangements for the 29-year-old leader.
"He (Chidambaram) told me that many people were asking him what is his response to Swaraj's statement. He told them that he has written a letter to me and also told them that he has invited me for a meeting," she said.
The Home Minister dismissed BJP's allegation of adopting a "lackadaisical" attitude on Varun's security, saying the MP has been provided adequate protection taking into account the inputs of the intelligence agencies.
The Home Minister in his letter, which was made public, had said the "government has also taken into account the inputs provided by the intelligence agencies. As in the case of every other protected person, the level of security provided to Varun is periodically reviewed," Chidambaram said in the one-page letter to Swaraj.
"I, therefore, suggest that, if you wish, you may kindly meet me and I shall take you into confidence about the security cover provided to Varun," he said in the letter.

Dear Sir,Vip security in India is fast becoming a menace which needs elimination.Terrorist threat is much more in countries other than India.But there is no security tamasha like that of India.The Politicians are spending crores on their elections so they should manage their own security.Actually security has become a status symbol with Politicians.Role of the State forces is more for the VIP security with nothing left with them for their own role of policing and checking crime and that is how the crime is on the rise.In a state like Panjab, roads are closed for hours together with the kaafla of Chief Minister and the self styled Deputy Chief Minister besides their status hungry Rishtedaars and other Politicians,all this at the cost of Public safety
Whether you like it or not, Varun Gandhi is an elected MP. What are the qualifications of Priyanka Gandhi and her husband Robert Vadra for whom the government is providing high security from the national exchequer? She is not even an elected leader.
Most of the comments against Varun Gandhi in this column are based on the propaganda that Varun had actually made that alleged speech. He has time and again claimed that the CD was doctored and its contents were not entirely his own. While the Lakhnow Forensic Scientific Lab has said that the CD was not doctored, the Chandigadh FSL has said that the possibility of it being doctored cannot be ruled out. Nobody has any answer to the questions as to where was the CD during the 12 days from the date of the alleged speech(5th March) and the date on which its contents were broadcast. Nor there has been any explanation why there had been not even a minor protest in and around Pilibhit during those 12 days despite his alleged speech until the media propagated it. The fact that he won the election with such huge margin casts doubts about the propaganda against him. Does it mean that all those nearly 5 lakh voters of his constituency who voted for him despite the concerted propaganda against him were Hindu fanatics?
India should learn from China and smash FAITH BASED TERRORISTS who roam freely in our country while innocent people go to jail
Varun's problem may be more due to family feud. If he joins Congress Party perhaps his problem gets solved and becomes a hero. His loud laying during election meeting has not given room for any riot or destruction. Why he should be made to suffer. Such words are said by many in the past also.B S GANESH, BANGALORE
BJP has become a party of jokers. a brat called Varun's security precedes all other issues of national importance
There should be one UNIFORM LAW all over India that ANYONE criticizing any of the Indians based on anyone's religion must not be provided any kind of defence security by the Govt. However, if that accused person wishes to have security privately arranged thru his/her own resources, that person will be allowed to have one.
Where was Sushma Swaraj when Varun was making all those immature hate speeches and trying to create communal disharmony ? He has invited trouble unto himself by his own reckless statements and I think, he should now pay for his own security or the BJP should pay and not the tax payers.
cp G is truly the son of a soil , he can really understand what hindu and nationalist stand for ! we are really lucky to have him amongst us ! he is a true man , indian , he is the best! his views are the best , i think he can be made president of india or even united states . i think we all should give him the highest national award !
PC don't even spend a single dime on Varun he and his so called animal activit mother are the biggest blot and a shame on our nation , Sushma still you people are supporting Varun , only people with devilish tendencies can support people who are enemies of Humanity , I guess Laluji was right what he called you few months back . We are truly now in same state as pre world war II Germany , Heavens please save us from what is going to come .....
Advanithat man was so desperate to become PM that he tried to subvert the armed forces and now seeks armed intervention for his cause. He tried eevery trick in the book to become PM but hats off to an enlightened electorate that his ambitions were nipped in the BUD and that old man can leave us in PEACE. He is power hungry a LIAR and manipulatorof the first order. I am still cerebrating his LOSS and BJP's and will for the next 5 years. and after that the BJP will be buried for Dr. Manmohan will have gor us the UNSC seat .
There should be a Lwa in place that people who threaten other people's lives should be deprived of any protection from the state the likes of Raj Thachkeray and Varun would then know better.They try to preach violence from the pulpit and then run like rats for free state protection.Maybe their egos should encash the cheques their mouth write.If Sushma swaraj and her ilk know the policy of scot and run perfected by the gentleman gunned by his won kin. Well if she can insinuate then she should have the gall to make it public .Who the hell is she to judge what is appropriate . Loser
PC UR RIGHT.CONTINUE CARRYING THE GOOD WORK UR DOING.IF BJP AND SUSHMAJI ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT VARUN SECURITY,LET THEM PAY FOR IT AND THE GOVT CAN PROVIDE.NOT AT TAXPAYERS COST.ALREADY THE DEFICIT IS SO HIGH AND U CONTINUE SUCH UNCONTROLLED EXPENSES THAN GOD SAVE UR COUNTRY.FURTHER BJP DID GREATEST DIS SERVICE TO THE COUNTRY BY FOCUSSING ON VARUN ISSUE IN ELECTION AND PEOPLE OF INDIA GAVE U A FITTING REPLY ,U LOST AN ELECTION WHICH U COULD HAVE WON BY HIT WICKET.NOW BUDGET DEBATES HAVE TO TAKE PLACE AND COMMON MAN HAS GREAT EXPECTATIONS FROM MAIN OPPOSITION BJP--IT IS AGAIN STRUCK WITH VARUN.WE ARE CONCERNED WITH UR BREAD AND BUTTER AND SECURITY AND UR CONCERNED ABOUT VARUN SECURITY.FOCUS ON COMMON MAN ISSUE RATHER THAN VARUN ISSUE.
Everybody knows what happened to the share market when Chidambram was Finance Minister.Now let us see what he does as home minister to the security of this country.
Rightly said sir. Chidambaram was a great Finance Minister and is proving it as a home minister as well.
VARUN SHOULD BE HANGED PUBLICLY. HE IS TROUBLE MAKER FOR INDIANS, AND FOR THE GOVERNMENT
Varun's security is nothing but a part of a larger network which has also been responsible for eliminating people with nationalist(Indian/Hindu)mind and who are capable of taking India to rising glory.Examples are galore. Lal Bahadur Shastri, Dr Homi Bhabha, Sethna,Sanjay Gandhi,Gulshan Kumar,Pramod Mahajan and now Varun Gandhi.In case of Varun the idea is also to eliminate the other Nehru/Gandhi scion so that there is no claiment to this throne from other quarters.Tomorrow could be anybody with such thinking.Shakeel's sharp shooters taking supari are just an excuse.
Put him in jail for life for his hate speeches. That is most secure place for him. Sushama Swaraj will not need to worry about his security.
Any person who indulges in the part of hatred should be dealt with a stiff hand.But what happens in india is the person who speaks for the cause of majority is branded as communal and thereby all the political bigots fear for the cause of the majority.I am not for the words which varun used(if it is true)because it is blatant violation of public podium.But in a state were the cm is busy making statues of herself and her party symbol,were engineers are killed for the only reason that he has not paid her party,one has to fear for the life of this guy.India is in the hands of polical warlords who are ready to incite violence among themselves god save india
Mr. Varun wants to eradicate indians from india because they are muslims. now himself afraid of eradication. if he can abolish indian muslims from india then i hope he can protect himself? if not live with scare. that is the fate from God. don't spend any single paisa for his protection from the govt. treasury . what the other citizens enjoying let it be.
Home ministerji dont worry about the security of comman man who will take care of himself but remember to provide Z plus security cover with black cats to Varun Gandhi MP and Menaka Gandhi MP.
And are you in the same dream that now since the arm twisting capability is reducing day by day so start targeting the other way, just the Pakistan style. If you cant win in a war then start proxy war and congress supports your proxy war.Noone is nobody to define Varun is Hero or not,and so should you.He did aimed at exposing the hands behind the antisocial act.Why one particular section of society started chest beating.Because there are many straws in a thiefs beard.And remember tax payers money is also invoved in your Haz pilgrimage and many pay tax to do charity for a particular communities pilgrimage.All tax payers money is not spent on secutrity of Varun but on his first cousins also.Go and get your record straight before putting in.
IT IS TIME " DR. PETROL PUMP CHOR " SHOULD PROVIDE THE SECURITY TO COMMON PERSONS WHOSE LIVES ARE DESTROYED BY B.J.P . DR. AND LIKE MINDED PEOPLE LIKE HIM SHOULD APPROACH PAKI. PRSIDENT WHO WILL INTRODUCE TO OSAMA BIN LADEN WHO WILL SEND HIS MAN TO PROTECT THIS MORONS AND ANTI - NATIONAL FORCES IN INDIA . JAI HIND
Ms.Sushma swaraj, u r now in a responsible position of Deputy Opposition Leader, do not blindly support your colleagues and do not blindly oppose your adversery.You should be heard - make yourself worthy of it.Wehn HM is saying he can always share the information about the kind of security, it not only shows how confident he is about his job done but also showing your weakness about the subject.Government should protect(security cover) people who are worthy of it.Please assess inside your party itself whether Varun is worthy of the present protection by Govt. Because it costs.Even the HM is with Y cataogry protection I think, don't you also feel that He is saving more costs being inside the Government.Think before you act, it is better for BJP and India too.
I think that guy is in a dream that varun is some kind of hero in India..he is not any hero but aliar who lied to the media that he didn't use the words in the tapes and the tapes were doctored...later on when the forensic dept found out that the tapes were original, he is mumming...this is the honesty of that man..and beyond that he said he will protect the Hindus when somebody attacks them now is begging for his own protection by spending our tax money...dont forget that even Muslims'tax money is invloved in it....even his party leaders are not in good accordance with him...it is his mother the animal right activist who herself bred another kind of beast that a Muslim police officer was behind Varun's chaotic rally during his arrest....such irresponsible..and unreasonable mother can never guide her child to any good....BJP can have such beasts in their league..but it is not neccessary that every Indian should support it...like some Purohits who are known for anti-national activities
It all boils down to the question of power. It is the unfortunate accidental death of Sanjay gandhi that made it possible for Rajiv Gandhi to become the PM and don the mantle of Royal family. If Sanjay were still alive and in power, Chidambaram would have spared a battalion of armed guards fot the security of Varun Gandhi and would have left Sonia and Rahul to defend themselves.
sO THE FACT AND HISTORY DOES NOT SUPPORT varun SO ITS A PITY THAT HE AND NOT RAHUL IS AT THE MERCY of this government. and good riddance to the goner Sanjay you should consider yourself lucky or else you could have been one of the many castrated my friend maybe you also support Hitler
