Former CM Arjun Munda attended a Symposium on 40 years of Emergency as Chief Guest at BJP Headquarter on Friday. He compared the scenario prevailing in the times of emergency when the nation was ruled by Congress. He said the situations of those days and present days are completely different. The senior BJP leader said during the days of Emergency, the rights of Press were censored and the public was deprived from their fundamental rights. Former BJP state president Dineshanand Goswami, who was also present on the occasion, said the hindrance in the rights of citizens and Press had created a sense of agitation during those days. The programme began by garlanding the picture of lok Nayak Jaiprakash Narayan, who had championed the cause of revolt against suppressive rule and led the JP movement in the mid 70s.
