Emergency twist: When Indira’s fiercest critic JP was fighting for life in hospital, Gandhi "quietly" did this, and it shocked everyone

During the Emergency in India, Indira Gandhi secretly offered Rs 90,000 to her critic, Jayaprakash Narayan, for medical treatment. Narayan, however, declined the donation, a fact revealed in a new book, 'The Conscience Network.' His supporters, wary of government influence, preferred independent fundraising, and a global campaign was launched to support his medical needs, successfully raising the required funds.
