New Delhi: Let the new generations draw the right lessons from Emergency, Union Minister and BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said on Thursday while attacking the Congress for its 'grossly undemocratic' behaviour which he claimed still continues.

The 'legacy', Prasad said, 'still continues'.
"Let the new generations draw the right lessons," he wrote.
He recalled that after the Emergency was imposed by then prime minister Indira Gandhi, major opposition leaders including Jai Prakash Narayan, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, L K Advani, Chandrashekhar, along with scores of citizens, were arrested.
