Meanwhile, taking part in the 150th birth anniversary celebrations of Swami Vivekananda here on Saturday, former Madhya Pradesh chief minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Charkhari Uma Bharti expressed dismay at a number of issues from pollution of Ganga to crime against women and the recent killing of Army jawans on the Indo-Pak border.

She said revolutionaries like Chandrashekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh sacrificed their lives at the altar of country and their vision of India and the one envisioned by Swami Vivekananda was a contrast to the India we live in today.
