Mahadangal: BJP slams Congress on 50 years of Emergency, calls it Constitution's darkest hour | ABP NEWS

On June 25, the nation observed Samvidhan Hatya Diwas (Constitution Killing Day), marking 50 years since the Emergency was imposed in India in 1975. During this period, fundamental rights were suspended, and press freedom was curbed. The BJP held widespread protests across the country, invoking the Emergency to target the Congress. Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing attack, saying, “Those who speak of democracy today are from the same party that once imposed Emergency and killed the Constitution. Even after 50 years, Congress still lives with the same dictatorial mindset.” He added that parties who once opposed the Emergency are now standing with Congress, exposing their political hypocrisy. Meanwhile, the Congress responded sharply, claiming that India has been under an "undeclared emergency" for the past 11 years under the Modi government. The party alleged that the BJP is raising the Emergency issue now only because it fears Rahul Gandhi’s Samvidhan Bachao Yatra. In a significant move, the Cabinet, led by PM Modi, passed a resolution during its meeting, paying tribute to those who resisted the Emergency. A two-minute silence was observed in their honor. The political clash deepens—has the Emergency been forgotten, or does it still shape India’s democratic discourse?
