India TV News  

The "villains" of the Emergency must be tracked down and punished in order to secure democracy in the country, Prasar Bharati Chairman A Surya Prakash said on Monday. Speaking at a discussion on "Emergency: Darkest Hour in Indian Democracy", he said India came under a "fascist regime" for months during the Emergency. "If we wish to secure our democracy, the villains of the Emergency and their mentors must be made to pay," he added. The report of the Shah Commission, an independent panel headed by former Chief Justice of India Jayantilal Chhotalal Shah to probe atrocities during the Emergency, which was "destroyed", was one of the finest documents and must be made part of the library in every school and college of the country, he said.
