During my tenure Cabinet gave nod to financial aid to the MISA prisoners'
In Sendhwa town of Barwani district, ex-cabinet minister Antar Singh Arya and MISA prisoners recalled the Emergency period. Arya said that at the time of emergency he was very young, what I saw and heard at that time was very sad. The torture unleashed united the opposition and the Janata Party emerged and subsequently BJP came into existence in 1980.
He added that when during his tenure as a Cabinet minister- the Cabinet provided for financial assistance to the MISA prisoners. It was later brought under the purview of the law so that the aid of MISA prisoners canÃt be stopped by subsequent government.
