Shyama Prasad Mukherjee

Shyama Prasad Mukherjee founded the Bharatiya Jana Sangh in Delhi, a right-wing political party that advocated for Hindu nationalism and opposed the appeasement of minorities. The party later evolved into the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Mukherjee campaigned for the abrogation of Article 370, which granted special autonomy to Jammu and Kashmir. He argued that the provision undermined national integration and called for its removal.

Mukherjee was arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir government for entering the state without a permit to protest discriminatory laws. He died in detention under mysterious circumstances, leading to allegations of foul play.
