| Friends,
When Sri K N Govindacharya came to our house today, he told us many stories but the one related with police department was the most interesting for me. It was related to the Emergency days. When I asked him if he had been arrested or not, he told me that he was arrested twice in emergency, one in the beginning another in the very end.
He also told the story of how he got arrested the second time. At that time, he was at Bhagalpur. He had to attend an election program for one Sri Ramji Singh. He had some premonition that the police was nearing him, but yet he attended the program. There when the meeting was still in progress, an Inspector of police, one Sri Mishra came. The moment Sri Govindacharya saw him, he asked Sri Ashwini Chaube, who is now a senior BJP minister in Bihar to continue the meeting and himself sat along with the spectators.
When the Inspector came, he asked each of those present there to tell their names. When Sri Govindacharya's turn came, he stood up with folded hands-
Your name?- Hazoor, Ram Swaroop Tiwari.
Fathers name- "Ram Bharos Tiwari."
"Where do you live?"- Sarkar, I belong to Village A, Post- B, District Arrah
"Who do you do?"- "I am a teacher in Primary school at village C."
"So, why did you come here?"- "Hazoor, I never wanted to come here, it is this person (pointing to someone there) who brought me. I knew there would be something "Gadbad"
Sri Govindacharya spoke all this with so much ease and confidence, in such Bihari dialect that the Inspector could not even suspect anything.
After this the Inspector got satisfied and moved away, but the moment he went back to his vehicle, the informer, an old acquaintance of Sri Govindacharya asked the Inspector whether he could arrest him or not. The Inspector plainly denied by saying that he had confirmed and was sure that Govindacharya was not there.
The informer said again that he had definite information and insisted the Inspector to come again. This time Govindacharya got arrested. When he sat in the police vehicle, the Inspector accusingly said- "You are such a big person, don't you feel ashamed of telling lies."
Govindacharya replied-" But isn't it true that you got duped by what I said."
He also narrated another story related with jayaprakash Narayan's house arrest in Patna. He said that despite a very heavy security at JP's house, Govindachary could meet him every day because he knew that the police went to listen to radio news at 6 in morning and again at 9.30 AM. He would enter JP's residence at 6 and would come back at around 9.30.
Finally, Govindacharya said- "Saving oneself from your police department in arrsst is not all that difficult, Amitabh ji. One only needs to keep one's eyes and ears open."
How do u people react? Amitabh Thakur,
