These are from the pamphlet, 'A Tale of Two Emergencies'.
LK Advani on the role of the press
Advani on 'demonstrations of loyalty' to the chief
Advani, in 1975, invoking Nehru from 1936, on 'the onslaught on civil liberties'
The passage above is from the pamphlet 'When Disobedience to Law is a Duty' (an open letter to AICC Delegates at Chandigarh, Dec '75)
LK Advani on the uses of state propaganda and denunciation
These are from LK Advani's pamphlet 'Anatomy of Fascism' (April 1976)
