Bowled over by grace and dignity shown by Sidhu, says Jaitley

The leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha said he became a political activist at a very young age in 1970 and was associated with ABVP and successfully contested elections in my college and then in the University of Delhi.  

“The defining moment in my life was the JP movement against corruption and the declaration of Emergency.

I offered satyagraha against Emergency on day one and spent the next nineteen months under preventive detention.  

“It was during this period that my ideological moorings got strengthened,” he said.
