Shimla, June 26 (HS). BJP State President Dr. Rajiv Bindal praised Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla for bringing a resolution against the Emergency on the first day in the House and congratulated the resolution. He said that this is a big initiative of the Lok Sabha Speaker. He wants to show that no one is above democracy.
Rajiv Bindal issued a statement here on Wednesday and said that a resolution was brought in the Lok Sabha House stating that the House strongly condemns the decision to impose emergency in the country in the year 1975. Along with this, we appreciate the determination of all those people who strongly opposed the emergency, fought an unprecedented struggle and took the responsibility of protecting the democracy of India.
Bindal said that 25 June 1975 will always be known as a black chapter in the history of India. On this day, the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed emergency in the country and fiercely attacked the constitution made by Baba Saheb Ambedkar. India is known all over the world as the 'mother of democracy'. Democratic values and dialogue have always been promoted in India, democratic values have always been protected, they have always been encouraged. Indira Gandhi imposed dictatorship on such an India, India's democratic values were crushed and freedom of expression was strangled.
He said that during the Emergency, the rights of the citizens of India were destroyed, the freedom of the citizens was snatched away. This was the period when the opposition leaders were put in jails, the whole country was turned into a prison. Bindal said that the dictatorial government of that time had imposed many restrictions on the media and also curbed the autonomy of the judiciary. That period of Emergency was an 'injustice period', a dark period in the history of our country. After imposing the Emergency, the Congress government of that time took many such decisions, which crushed the spirit of our Constitution.
He said that the Emergency brought with it terrible anti-social and dictatorial policies which destroyed the lives of the poor, the Dalits and the deprived.
