Congress Challenges Modi on Emergency Anniversary Session
Congress accuses Prime Minister Modi of using a special parliamentary session planned for June 25-26, marking the 50th anniversary of India's Emergency, as a distraction from urgent issues. The party demands focus on the Pahalgam terror attack and reiterating India's stance on Pakistan-occupied Kashmir amid growing regional tensions.

In a move stirring controversy, Congress claims that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is considering a special session of Parliament on June 25-26, marking the 50th anniversary of the Emergency, a period of suspended civil liberties in 1975 under Congress leader Indira Gandhi.
Jairam Ramesh, Congress's communications head, criticizes the proposed session as a diversion from pressing issues like the Pahalgam terror attack, urging an all-party meeting and questioning Modi's silence on recent Indo-Pakistan tensions.
The Congress demands a special session to address regional security concerns, especially amid an emerging Pakistan-China alliance, rather than revisiting historical events from five decades ago.
