STATEMENT OF Dr. SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY, PRESIDENT OF JANATA PARTY
The crack down in Ramlila Grounds in the dark hours of the night today signals the beginning of the end of the UPA government. Such panic reaction of any government in history has only foretold its downfall. The UPA government instead of cracking down on crooks, hawala operators, and illegal foreign bank account holders,has instead swooped on an unarmed Swamiji and world renowned Yoga teacher who had wanted effective action against the corruption making India look like a tin pot dictatorship in a Banana Republic. But since the UPA government has now written its own death warrant, the democratic minded anti-corruption forces should rejoice in this foolishness as the silver lining in this dark cloud
reminiscent of the Emergency.

On the intervening night of June 25 and 26, 1975, Indira Gandhi's police arrested Jay Prakash Narayan (JP) who was sphere-heading a nationwide movement against corruption. While being taken away, JP had used a samskrit aphorism- Vinash kale viprit buddhi meaning when the downfall/destruction/death is near, one behaves/acts with deluded mind. After 21 months, Indira Gandhi and her Congress party were badly routed at the hustings and JP was hailed as Lok Nayak (leader of masses).History is about to repeat with the midnight arrest of Baba Ramdev because truth is much more powerful than the moneybags and naked power.
