Kuldeep Nayar disapproves of BJP's attempt to use his name in election campaign, terms it "shameful"

April 20, 2014: Ninety years old, veteran journalist  Kuldeep Nayar expressed his outrage and anger when he was informed about the rumour being spread by a website saying "Kuldeep Nayar joins Arun Jaitley's campaign". He  disapproved of this misleading story dated April 19, 2014.

A representative of Citizens Forum for Civil Liberties (CFCL) spoke to him today at 12.50 PM in this regard. Mr Nayar said, " I have always written against them. This shows how low they can stoop.  This is shameful." He is currently in Delhi at his residence. He wanted a statement to be issued informing the public at large and media about this misinformation campaign by supporters of BJP.

Mr Nayar is also the author of 15 books, including "Beyond the Lines", "Distant Neighbours: A Tale of the Subcontinent", "The Martyr : Bhagat Singh Experiments in Revolution", "Suppression of
judges", "Without Fear: The Life and Trial of Bhagat Singh" and others.

Mr Nayar is also a human right activist who has formerly been High Commissioner to Great Britain and a MP.
