Placed democracy under arrest: PM's all-out attack on Congress on Emergency

Calling it one of the darkest chapters in India's democratic history, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the imposition of the Emergency by the Congress not only violated the spirit of the Constitution but placed "democracy under arrest".

In a series of posts on X on the 50th anniversary of the Emergency, which the Centre has decided to observe as Samvidhan Hatya Diwas, PM Modi said no Indian would ever forget how the voice of Parliament was muzzled and attempts were made to control the courts during the period.
