Today I am going to tell you about the darkest day of Indian democracy, i.e Emergency. Why and how it was implemented. watch out this thread #HitlerIndira
Indira Gandhi Lost Case against Raj Narayan and Disqualified from all posts on 12th June. To remain in power she misused constitution and imposed emergency on 26 June 1975and remained PM unconstitutionally #HitlerIndira
After imposing emergency Media was controlled, Civil Liberties were suspended, Judiciary disregarded, Opposition leaders without any reason jailed. The law MISA was misused (one of the Lalu Yadav's daughter's name MISA is cause Lalu was jailed under it)
Probably law makers and makers of constitution never had dreamed that #HitlerIndiar would misuse their constitution in lust of power. Every thing was under government control and was no existence of democracy.
The biggest horror and the worst any one could think was done by #HitlerIndira.
Terror across Delhi and north India with demolition drives, removal of slum dwellings, and a massive forced sterilisation drive that had villagers fleeing for their lives
When today's media says "Lokatantra Khatre me he". I wonder why don't they study and describe emergency - The darkest era of Indian Democracy by #HitlerIndira
Picture from that period.
