अब तो विरोधी भी मानते है , वरूण पर रासुका लगाना अनुचित

supporter from the rival camp. Veteran Congress leader from city, Satya
Prakash Malviya has lambasted the Mayawati government for invoking the National Security Act (NSA) against Gandhi scion. Talking to our correspondant, the septuagenarian leader said the issue reminds him of gross misuse of Maintenance of Internal Security Act (MISA) during the emergency period against political opponents. Malviya, however, agreed that whatever Varun spoke was anti-national but added there was no need to invoke NSA against him without a fair trial. He said that when veteran Kashmiri leader Sheikh Abdullah was detained under the Preventive Detention Act (PDA), the great socialist leader Ram Manohar Lohia had vehemently opposed the same and exhorted the countrymen to observe "Sher-e-Kashmiri Diwas" in protest against the illegal detention. When Malviya's attention was drawn towards the fact that his statements may send wrong signals in his own party, the veteran leader said that his party spokesperson had publicly admitted that invoking the NSA was the sole prerogative of the state government but the Congress party condemns the alleged remarks of Varun. He exuded confidence that his comments on the issue would not create any misunderstanding in his party and clarified that he has no intention to offend the party high command by issuing such statements. Meanwhile, at a meeting of newly founded Varun Gandhi Fans Association held under the presidentship of Ratan Khare the speakers described the young leader as the future of the country
