I could not attend my mother's funeral…

Those who imposed emergency on the country in 1975 are today accusing us of being a dictator. During the emergency, my mother suffered a brain haemorrhage. But at that time I was under arrest due to the agitation against the government. This time the Congress government did not grant me parole. I could not attend my mother's funeral. My mother stayed in the hospital for 27 days. Reminiscing that I was kept in jail and was not allowed to meet my mother at the last moment, Rajnath Singh became emotional remembering her mother.

Just two days ago, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, while addressing an election rally in Arunachal Pradesh's Namsai area on Tuesday, had expressed a strong reaction to China's 'renaming' of many places in Arunachal Pradesh.

He also clarified that China's move to change the names of 30 places in the northeastern state will not change the reality.
