New Delhi, June 27, 2025 (ANI): On 50 years of Emergency, Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal says, "Everyone has acknowledged that the Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi was a stain on democracy, but the new generation should know how Indira Gandhi murdered the Constitution... Citizens' fundamental rights were snatched away, censorship was imposed on the press, opposition leaders were thrown in jail, no one could speak against Indira Gandhi, is that the era we are in now? What are the opposition leaders saying? If you (the opposition) like such an era, then congratulations to you, Indira Gandhi imposed the Emergency to save her chair and power... If Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi like this, then congratulations to them, the country does not like such things. Prime Minister Modi has tried to explain through 'Samvidhan Hatya Divas' that such an era existed..."
