Leader of Opposition hails decision of Himachal High Court  to restore Loktantra Prahari Samman Rashi 

 Leader of Opposition Jairam Thakur hailed the decision of the 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 today, Mr Thakur said that the emergency was a dark chapter of democracy, and stopping the Samman Rashi was the autocratic decision of the state government.

He said that those who fought to protect the constitutional values ​​of the country during the Emergency were honored 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 a dictatorship. 

He said that the High Court had stayed this arbitrary decision of the Sukhu government and gave a decision in favor of the benefits of this honorarium.

 The Leader of Opposition 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 Sukhwinder Singh ‘Sukhu’ as soon as he came to power.
