India TV News  

Describing the 21-month-long Emergency as a 'dark period' that the nation could never forget, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday called for making the democracy stronger by 'writing, debating, deliberating, and questioning' its vital aspects. "So, now they tried to scare the highest echelons of the judiciary by bringing in an impeachment motion during Emergency, judges were abruptly transferred and their arrogant mentality remains unchanged even today," Modi said. Besides PM Modi, many leaders at the BJP top leadership has often made references to the Emergency while taking a dig at the Congress Party. The 1975 Emergency order gave the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi the authority to rule by decree wherein civil liberties were curbed.
