Marking Samvidhan Hatya Diwas, the Prime Minister said, “No Indian will ever forget the manner in which the spirit of our Constitution was violated in 1975.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi slams Congress for imposing emergency in 1975.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi slams Congress for imposing emergency in 1975.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday slammed the Congress party on the 50th year of the imposition of emergency and stated that it was “one of the darkest chapters in India’s democratic history”. Marking Samvidhan Hatya Diwas, the Prime Minister said, “No Indian will ever forget the manner in which the spirit of our Constitution was violated in 1975.”

Taking to X, PM Modi wrote, “Today marks fifty years since one of the darkest chapters in India’s democratic history, the imposition of the Emergency. The people of India mark this day as Samvidhan Hatya Diwas.”

“On this day, the values enshrined in the Indian Constitution were set aside, fundamental rights were suspended, press freedom was extinguished and several political leaders, social workers, students and ordinary citizens were jailed. It was as if the Congress Government in power at that time placed democracy under arrest,” the Prime Minister said attacking the then Congress government under the leadership of Indira Gandhi.

He further added that no Indian will ever forget the manner in which the spirit of our Constitution was violated, the voice of Parliament was muzzled and attempts were made to control the courts. “The 42nd Amendment is a prime example of their shenanigans. The poor, marginalised and downtrodden were particularly targeted, including their dignity insulted,” PM Modi added.

The Prime Minister stated, “We salute every person who stood firm in the fight against the Emergency! These were the people from all over India, from all walks of life, from diverse ideologies who worked closely with each other with one aim: to protect India’s democratic fabric and to preserve the ideals for which our freedom fighters devoted their lives. It was their collective struggle that ensured that the then Congress Government had to restore democracy and call for fresh elections, which they badly lost.”

He further reiterated his government’s commitment to strengthen the principles in our Constitution and working together to realise our vision of a Viksit Bharat. “May we scale new heights of progress and fulfil the dreams of the poor and downtrodden,” PM Modi stated.

Jaishankar Recalls ‘Painful Chapter Of Independent India’s History’

Marking the 50 years of emergency, External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar also recalled the painful chapter of independent India’s history.

“On Samvidhan Hatya Diwas, we recall a painful chapter of independent India’s history, when institutions were undermined, rights were suspended and accountability was set aside. It also remains a powerful reminder of our collective duty to safeguard constitutional values and uphold the resilience of Indian democracy,” he wrote in a post on X.

PM Modi Directs Compilation Of All Legal Records

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday directed that all legal records pertaining to the period of Emergency be prepared and preserved for posterity.

While chairing a key meeting of the Prime Ministers’ Museum and Library (PMML) Society in New Delhi, PM Modi suggested the development of a comprehensive national database of all museums in the country and said that a compilation of all legal battles relating to the Emergency period may be prepared and preserved in light of the completion of 50 years after the Emergency.
