'She Won After Emergency': Congress Fury Over BJP's 'Indira Equals Hitler' Bombshell
Congress has erupted in fury over a controversial BJP social media post equating former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi with Adolf Hitler. The post, shared on X, featured an AI-generated video of Gandhi sporting a Hitler-style moustache, declaring the 1975 Emergency as a dictatorial takeover. Karnataka Congress leader S Manohar has filed a police complaint, calling the video deeply disrespectful and inflammatory. The clip referred to the Emergency as "the night India lost its voice" and ended with a chilling warning. Congress has demanded strict action against the BJP's social media handle for 'spreading hate' and 'distorting historical events'.#indiragandhi #emergency #bjp #congress #ai #deepfake #politicalcontroversy #indiapolitics #socialmedia #karnatakabjp #smanohar #hatespeech #democracy #freespeech #indianconstitution #hitler #politicaldrama #toi #toibharat

‘Secularism' and ‘socialism' not part of Preamble drafted by Ambedkar, must be reviewed: RSS
Noting that 'secularism' and 'socialism' were not part of the Preamble of the Constitution as drafted by B.R. Ambedkar, Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale on Thursday (June 26, 2025) called for the later inclusion of these terms to be reviewed. Mr. Hosabale was speaking at an event to mark the 50th year since the Emergency, at which he also asked the Congress party to apologise to the nation for the 'draconian act'. Discussing the 'several injustices' propagated against the people during the Emergency by the Congress government of that time, the RSS leader said that over one lakh people were sent to jail, including 250 journalists. The government of that time violated fundamental rights in multiple ways including the forceful sterilisation of over 60 lakh people, he added. 'Is socialism eternal for India?' 'Freedom of judiciary was also curtailed... but one more thing. Two words — that are, secularism and socialism — were added in the Preamble of the Indian Constitution during the Emergency. These two words were not there in the Preamble before. Preamble is eternal to the nation, but are the views and values of socialism, in terms of ideology, eternal for India?' he asked. The word 'secularism' was not originally in the Indian Constitution, he emphasised. 'Yes, the ideas of secularism may have existed, they may have been part of governance and state policy — that's a different matter. But should these two words remain in the Preamble? This is something that deserves a review,' he said. Added during Emergency Mr Hosabale cautioned the audience that, when the Constitution is discussed at present, it is not just about Ambedkar's Constitution, but also includes later additions. 'Because I know — and I'm saying this while standing in the building named after Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, the architect of our Constitution —that these words were not included by him. These words were added during the Emergency when citizens' rights were suspended, when Parliament was ineffective, when the judiciary was crippled. At that time, this was inserted,' he said. Mocking Congress leader Rahul Gandhi without naming him, Mr. Hosabale said that it was his ancestors who had shattered the Constitution, but now he protests in the Parliament with copies of the same Constitution in his hand.

Palaniswami slams Stalin, asks if DMK has locus standi to utter Anna's name
AIADMK top leader Edappadi K Palaniswami on Thursday wondered if Chief Minister MK Stalin and the DMK had locus standi to utter Dravidian icon C N Annadurai's name and slammed the CM for 'speaking politics in government function.' The AIADMK top leader yet again blamed the DMK for "family rule" .(PTI file photo) Palaniswami's tirade follows Stalin's "AIADMK has mortgaged the name of Anna itself," jibe. Alleging that the chief minister did nothing for the people during the past 4-year rule of the DMK, Palaniswami said the AIADMK was founded by late leader M G Ramachandran in 1972 as Karunanidhi "buried Anna's ideology" and transformed the DMK into a "family camp," for loot. Further, the leader of opposition said: 'We will not give up Anna even for a day, even a minute, who lives not only in our party's name and flag, but also in our blood.' The AIADMK top leader yet again blamed the DMK for "family rule" and said it went against the ideology of Anna who founded the DMK in 1949. Stalin, who has only "commission, collection and corruption as policy," need not lecture the AIADMK on Periyar and Anna, Palaniswami said. The former chief minister vowed that "peace, prosperity, growth and state rights, lost due to the DMK," would be retrieved by him following a win in the 2026 Assembly election. He said this was his first poll assurance. In a government event at Tirupathur near Vellore, the chief minister, without naming the BJP or any Right wing outfit, said they were trying hard to cause confusion. Invoking the legacy of Periyar, Anna and Karunanidhi, and hailing them for nurturing and shaping the state, Stalin said: "You (Hindu Munnani/BJP) are playing video trivializing such leaders! When such a video clip was played, the mute spectators were those who run their party in the name of Anna, the DMK president hit out at the AIADMK, the archrival. "They (AIADMK) have mortgaged the name of Anna itself. Those who have mortgaged their party, should not be allowed to mortgage Tamil Nadu tomorrow," he said and urged the people to understand the objective of the conspiracy against Tamil Nadu and its people and teach a fitting lesson to the AIADMK and BJP. Annadurai passed away on February 3, 1969. He was the chief minister from 1967 till 1969.

Country will not forget dark days of Emergency: Saikia
1 2 3 Guwahati: Assam BJP president Dilip Saikia on Thursday said the state and the country can never forget or allow the return of Congress's dark days. Marking the 50th anniversary since the imposition of Emergency, the party felicitated several Loktantra Senanis (Soldiers of Democracy) who "suffered the brutalities of the Congress regime" during that period. In a statement issued to the media on Thursday from the Assam state BJP headquarters, it was highlighted that 25 June 2025 marks the completion of 50 years since the imposition of Emergency by the Indira Gandhi-led Congress govt in 1975 — a day that marked the beginning of one of the darkest chapters in India's democratic history. As part of the state BJP's three-day observance of "Constitution Murder Day," a special public exhibition depicting the horrors of the Emergency period under the Congress rule was inaugurated at the BJP headquarters. The exhibition was formally opened at 12 noon on Thursday with the lighting of the ceremonial lamp by former Assam BJP President and MLA, Siddhartha Bhattacharya. Participating in the special programme, Assam BJP president and MP Dilip Saikia delivered a strong message, saying, "The dark days inflicted upon the nation by the Congress party can never be forgotten. We shall never allow such days to return in the future. The Congress and the Gandhi family trampled upon India's democratic values to cling to their political power." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo "It is ironic and unfortunate that leaders like Rahul Gandhi theatrically pull out the Constitution from their pockets and pretend to be its saviour when, in truth, the Congress and the Gandhi family butchered the very soul of the Constitution by amending it 102 times out of the total 109 amendments," Saikia added.
