Today marks the 45th anniversary of the imposition of Emergency in India by the regime of Congress under the leadership of former PM Smt Indira Gandhi Ji.
This era was the darkest phase of Indian democracy.

The imposition of emergency led to the suspension of almost all the rights provided by the constitution of India, arrest of all opposition leaders including several students and community leaders, the gagging of press to an unimaginable level.

Many of them were put behind bars, tortured, assaulted and given the worst of the punishment.
But they did not relent and continued to fight for democracy and justice.

It was the combination of both young & established leaders of Sangh Parivar that gave a major boost to the fight for restoration of democracy
From Atal ji & Advaniji as the guides to Modiji, Venkaiah ji,Jaitley Ji,all worked in one or the other form to make unbelievable happen
Although it has been more than four decades, yet the anti-democratic sentiments within the leaders of the Congress party, especially among the first family, have refused to die to down.
It comes out this day in the form of disrespecting the mandate given to Modi Govt.
Therefore,I request everyone to be very very cautious about the moves of the Congress party as it may once again try to bring in that darkness for democracy in a different flavour, even while sitting in the opposition
Long live the Indian Constitution!
