Unveiling the Darkest Chapter: Remembering India's Emergency

Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked the 50th anniversary of India's Emergency as a sombre reminder of a grim era in India's democratic history when constitutional principles were trampled upon.

Through messages on social media platform X, Modi referred to the Emergency as a substantial violation of constitutional spirit, wherein fundamental rights were suppressed and numerous citizens, including political leaders and social activists, were jailed.

Highlighting the collective struggle against the Emergency, Modi applauded those who fought to restore democracy and emphasized his government's pledge to uphold constitutional values and support a vision for a developed India.
