The government has declared June 25 as 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas,' commemorating the imposition of the Emergency in 1975 by then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Home Minister Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi made the announcement, highlighting the day as a reminder of the constitutional violations and the suppression of democracy during that period.

Opposition's Counterclaims

The Congress party has criticized the move, accusing the BJP of hypocrisy. Throughout Prime Minister Narendra Modi's tenure, the Congress and other opposition parties have alleged that the BJP and the central government have weakened constitutional institutions and violated the Constitution.

BJP's Counterattack

The BJP has responded by reiterating the Emergency's impact, positioning it as a reminder of the Congress's historical violations of democratic principles. PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah emphasized the importance of remembering those who resisted the Emergency and suffered during this dark period of Indian history.

Parliament Session Highlights

During a recent special session of Parliament, the Emergency and the Constitution were focal points. Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, carried copies of the Constitution, underscoring their commitment to protecting it. President Droupadi Murmu also referenced the Emergency in her address, calling it a significant attack on the Constitution.
