In a Facebook blog, Arun Jaitley pointed out that those who participate in a public discourse must understand basic facts before expressing an opinion which may be ill-informed.
Jaitley, like always did not mince words in criticising the Congress government for unleashing a sense of fear in people's mind and subverting democratic principles during the 21-month-long period.
In third part of his Facebook blog series on the Emergency, Jaitley recalled how Rajat Sharma and Vijay Goel helped him in organizing the protest against the draconian measure.

The veteran Congress leader termed Jaitley's remark as 'laughable and absurd' while asserting that his party has always 'stoutly opposed' Maoists and jehadists.
Protecting the human rights of the ordinary citizens in Kashmir was important, said the union minister.
Taking a dig at the critics of the government, Jaitley said that India's GDP has not declined by 2 per cent on account of demonetization and GST implementation, nor will it India live in poverty as predicted by the former finance minister.
In a Facebook post, Jaitley blasted the Congress party for putting ideology on the backburner and opting for dynastic politics.
Jaitley’s remarks came a day after a letter was reportedly found in the house of a person arrested for alleged maoist "links" that talked about the ultras mulling "Rajiv Gandhi-type incident" and suggesting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should be targeted during his "road shows".
In a tweet, Jaitley expressed gratitude to the doctors, nurses and paramedics who took care of him during his stay at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).
In his letter, Vishwas said that the remarks by him and other party leaders against Jaitley were based on the facts shared by Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal.
