PM Narendra Modi's Salvo at Congress on 50 Years of Emergency

PM Narendra Modi marks the 50th anniversary of the Emergency with a sharp rebuke of the Congress, calling it a dark chapter in Indian democracy.

 

In a scathing speech delivered during a public address, Prime Minister Modi reflected on the Emergency imposed by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1975. Modi criticized the Congress party for “trampling the Constitution” and “curbing citizens’ rights,” asserting that the period from 1975 to 1977 was a “black spot” in the nation's democratic journey. He warned the nation to stay vigilant and not allow such authoritarian tendencies to return under any disguise.

 

“Democracy was strangled, the Constitution was subverted, and thousands were jailed just for raising their voices,” Modi said, urging the youth to learn from the past. He further highlighted how his government has upheld constitutional values and committed itself to democratic principles.

 

The Prime Minister's remarks come ahead of the 2025 monsoon session of Parliament, where political discourse around democracy and civil liberties is expected to dominate. Modi’s speech has drawn strong reactions from Congress leaders, who accused him of politicizing history and diverting attention from present issues.
