Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan while addressing the Akhil Bharatiya lok Chetna Sammelans’ concluding session on Thursday said that the Maintenance of Internal Security Act (MISA) prisoners played decisive role in restoring democracy in the country.
Chouhan further said, “It is due to the sacrifice and penance that we are breathing independently.”
He said that the people of Madhya Pradesh hit hat-trick and gave mandate to us while we registered victory with thumping majority in the elections for 16th lok Sabha. The MISA detainees surely played important role in the victory of BJP in Assembly and parliamentary elections, he added.
He called on the democracy savers (MISA detainees) to indulge in work of making development as people’s agitation to make the state prosperous. With the prosperity of the State the country would become powerful to reach the ultimate pinnacle of splendor, he added.
Chouhan said that he always remain concerned for the problems of the people of State. The BJP Government of the State has always remained sensitive over the problems of the MISA detainees and their problems would also be resolved. “The honorarium of Rs 15,000 per month provided to the MISA detainees is not sufficient keeping in mind the increasing the dearness hence provisions would be made to link it with the increasing inflation” he added.
He called on the democracy savers to utilise their energy in the development of state and country. Country is fast moving ahead under the leadership of Narendra Modi, however to make it powerful creative and conceptualise efforts are required, he added.
Earlier Chouhan was accorded warm welcome by the national patron of loktantra Rakshak Sangh Meghraj Jain, national convener Kailash Soni and Faridullah. A shawl, shrifal and memento were also presented to him on the occasion. MISA detainees from all over the country were present on the occasion.
