"There is no understanding with BJP against Kejriwal... For protecting Constitution, all parties used to unite...," Khurshid told reporters in reply to a question.

When asked about the recent meeting of US Ambassador Nancy Powell and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, Khurshid said it was a routine affair and he would not like to comment on it.

In reply to a question, Khurshid said that as India had become polio free country, those coming from outside (foreign countries) would have to take polio vaccine.
