Medha Patkar  

During a talk on the amended law at an event organised by the Virat Hindustan Sangam, Dr. Swamy said that on November 27 1947, the Congress Working Committee said that the Congress is bound to afford protection to all non-Muslims from Pakistan who have crossed the border and come to India and may do so to save their lives in future. They would be protected and given full citizenship.

Jayaprakash Narayan of the Lok Satta Party was part of the committee that surveyed villages on the banks of Narmada and found that the 'grievances' that Medha Patkar's Narmada Bachao Andolan cry hoarse about were baseless.   

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener, Kejriwal, and the others, including activist Medha Patkar and Meera Sanyal, were booked under various provisions of the Maharashtra Police Act pertaining to holding public rallies without prior permission from the police.
