I am a victim of TV, says Fernandes

NEW DELHI, SEPT. 5. ``I don't see television. I don't have one. But, I know its influence because I am a victim,'' the NDA convener, Mr. George Fernandes, said today.

Mr. Fernandes, who resigned from the Government in the wake of the Tehelka expose, was apparently referring to the video footage on the fictitious defence deal.

He made the remark while speaking at a seminar on ``Employment generation - burning issues'' organised by the Swadeshi Jagran Manch.

Later talking to presspersons, he brushed aside reports of tension within the NDA in the wake of the reshuffle in the Union Council of Ministers and changes in portfolios held by some key allies. ``There is no tension,'' he said.

He expressed confidence that the Vajpayee Government would complete its remaining term of three years.
