50 Years Of Emergency: Darkest Chapter In Indian Democracy? | WION
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday (June 25) said that no Indian will ever forget how the spirit of the Constitution was violated during the Emergency, as he affirmed his government’s commitment to strengthening constitutional principles, while posting about the 50th year of the Emergency. In a long post on X, the Prime Minister said that it was one of the darkest chapters in India’s democratic history and it was the Congress government that placed Indian democracy under house arrest. The values enshrined in the Constitution were set aside, fundamental rights suspended, press freedom extinguished and a large number of political leaders, social workers, students and ordinary citizens jailed, he noted. The BJP government under PM Modi’s leadership had announced last year that the Emergency anniversary would be commemorated as "Samvidhan Hatya Diwas". The Emergency was imposed on June 25, 1975 by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Here’s a full recap of what happened:
