India remembers Emergency as a ‘Dark Period’: PM Modi

TestHostEntry

New Delhi | Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that the country remembers Emergency as a ‘Dark Period’ of the history, where every institution was subverted and an atmosphere of fear was created.

In a series of tweet, PM Modi shared his opinion about the period of Emergency. “India remembers the Emergency as a dark period during which every institution was subverted and an atmosphere of fear was created. Not only people but also ideas and artistic freedom were held hostage to power politics,” he tweeted.


“I salute the courage of all those great women and men who steadfastly resisted the Emergency, which was imposed 43 years ago. Their struggles ensured people power prevailed over authoritarianism and the stifling of civil liberties,” he added.


“Let us always work to make our democratic ethos stronger. Writing, debating, deliberating, questioning are vital aspects of our democracy which we are proud of. No force can ever trample the basic tenets of our Constitution,”he wrote in his final tweet.


Earlier in a blog, Union Minister Arun Jaitley also wrote about his experience about how the dark days of the Emergency, the trampling of personal liberties, excesses committed and how the Emergency was a direct attack on our Constitutional ideals.

Considered as one of the most controversial periods of the Indian history, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had declared a state of Emergency in the country for a 21-month period from 1975 to 1977.
