Emergency cannot be forgotten even if we want to: Rajnath Singh


Lucknow, 25 June (HS). Defence Minister and local MP Rajnath Singh, while remembering the date of imposition of Emergency, 25 June 1975, said in a post released on Instagram that exactly 49 years ago, Emergency was imposed in India by the then Congress government. Emergency is a dark chapter in the history of our country's democracy, which cannot be forgotten even if one wants to.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that the way in which the misuse of power and dictatorship was openly played during that period, it raises a big question mark on the commitment of many political parties towards democracy.

He said that if democracy is still alive in this country today, then the credit goes to those people who struggled for the restoration of democracy, went to jail and had to undergo immense physical and mental torture. The coming generations of India will remember their struggle and their contribution in protecting democracy.
