#RepublicTV

Additional Solicitor-General of India, Satya Pal Jain spoke to Republic TV on Saturday, sharing his first-person account of how he tided through the Emergency era, drawing parallels with the Maharashtra Government's current witch-hunt against Republic Media Network.

"In 1974-75, I was elected as the General Secretary of the Punjab University's Student Council. I was doing my MA in political science where Emergency was declared and I was arrested when I was 23 years old. They tortured me by giving me electric shocks," he said. Satya Pal Jain also shared how people who even dissented within the Congress, had to face action at the hands of the party.

While speaking on the Maharashtra Government's clampdown on Republic, he said, "The way in which the Maharashtra government is working is akin to the way in which Mrs Gandhi's government worked in 1975 during emergency. During those days also journalists were arrested and they were not allowed to work. Since about 45 years from then, they are not in a position to do such things directly, so they are trying to do this indirectly."
