CNN Central News & Networks / ITDC India ePress / ITDC News /Agencies/ Bhopal: Renowned lyricist and writer Manoj Muntashir is in the news these days for disclosures related to his personal life and for his political statements. At Dainik Bhaskar’s UP Stage Creators Meet Award programme held in Lucknow, Manoj Muntashir shared the story of his first love. He also spoke openly on the CJP (Cockroach Janata Party) protest and the political developments linked to it.
Recalling his first love, Manoj said he had fallen in love with a girl during his school days. One day, the girl asked him to return her photographs and letters.

He said the experience also influenced his writing and his life.
During the programme, Manoj Muntashir also targeted Akhilesh Yadav and Rahul Gandhi over the CJP protest. He described CJP as the opposition’s “B team”. He alleged that an agitation that began over students’ issues was being given a political direction. Manoj made it clear that he supports students’ demands against alleged irregularities in the NEET examination and believes accountability in the system is necessary, but he does not agree with the leadership of the protest and the ideology of some people involved in it. His personal disclosures and political comments made the programme a subject of discussion.
