June 25, 1975 a black day in the history of Bharatiya democracy when Indira Gandhi imposed “sham” emergency on the country to save her chair after Allahabad High Court found her guilty of electoral malfeasance, voided her election and barred her from contesting elections for six years. Those of us who lived those harrowing 19 months and fought her still have scars from that time. The degeneration of political discourse that we see today is result of Indira Gandhi’s dictatorship. Never forget your history. This is why a Congress culture Mukt Bharat is a must.
My salute to innumerable common men who fought the emergency tooth and nail from within and outside Bharat and shraddhanjali to those who perished in jails or were killed by the state apparatus.
