In politics we will have equality and in
social and economic life we will have
inequality. In politics we will be
recognising the principle of one man
one vote and one vote one value. In
our social and economic life, we shall,
by reason of our social and economic
structure, continue to deny the
principle of one man one value. How
long shall we continue to live this life
of contradictions? How long shall we
continue to deny equality in our social
and economic life? If we continue to
deny it for long, we will do so only by
putting our political democracy in
peril.”
