Shimla, Apr 4 (Reporter) Leader of Opposition Jairam Thakur hailed the ruling of Himachal Pradesh High Court to restore the Loktantra Prahari Samman Rashi which was closed by the Congress government recently. In a press release issued here on Thursday, he said that emergency was a dark chapter of democracy, stopping the Samman Rashi was an 'autocratic' decision of state government. He said that those who fought to protect the constitutional values ​​of the country during the Emergency, were honoured by the Bharatiya Janata Party. "But, as soon as the Congress-led Sukhu government came to power, this honorarium was stopped. Like the Emergency, this act was also dictatorship," he said. He further said that the High Court has stayed this arbitrary decision of the Sukhu government and gave a decision in favour of the beneficiaries of this honorarium. The Opposition Leader further said that under the Loktantra Prahari Samman Yojana, the previous BJP government made a law to provide Rs 15,000 per month to the Loktantra Praharis who stayed in jail for 15 days and Rs 20,000 per month for staying in jail for more than 15 days. This scheme was stopped by the Sukhu government as soon as he came to power...////...
