Himachal: Emergency was murder of Constitution, says Jai Ram, Cong hits back
Calling the imposition of emergency, the 'dark chapter of democracy', leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur on Wednesday said, 'It was the murder of the Constitution. Such a step was never taken by any democratic government in the world in the past. This is due to one person, her ambitions and becoming bigger than the Constitution of the country,' terming the emergency day as a 'black day'. Himachal leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur (File) 'Emergency was the product of the Congressmen's evil mentality. The country's then Prime Minister, late Indira Gandhi, mistook the Constitution of India as the Constitution of Indira,' said former chief minister. Thakur said, 'Unfortunately, even today the Congress does not accept its wrongdoings. That is why when the Sukhu government came to power, it brought the first Bill in the legislative assembly to stop the 'Loktantra Prahari Samman' amount started by our government.' 'Slogans like 'Indira is India and India is Indira' reflected that mentality of Congress,' former state president and MP Suresh Kashyap said, while speaking at a programme in Baddi. Kashyap said that the declaration of Emergency in 1975 was not the result of any national crisis, but it was a strategy of a scared Prime Minister to save power, which was imposed due to the challenge posed by the judiciary. 'Indira Gandhi misused Article 352 under the pretext of 'internal disturbance', while at that time there was no war, no rebellion and no external attack, it was just the stubbornness to neutralise the decision of Allahabad high court to cancel Indira's electoral membership and save her chair,' said Kashyap. Indira Gandhi used the hammer of emergency: Bindal BJP state president Rajiv Bindal said, '50 years ago, emergency was imposed in India. It was a dark chapter in the history of Independence.' 'Prime Minister of the country, Indira Gandhi, to save her throne, bypassed the decision of the HC and imposed emergency in the country and transformed the whole country into a dictatorship. After 50 years, the whole country should know about that horrific decision,' said Bindal. Sukhu lashes out at BJP Himachal chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu lashed out at the BJP for observing Emergency Day as a 'black day', saying the BJP was tarnishing the very Constitution that gave it power. 'Congress established democracy and framed the Constitution. Today, BJP is observing 'Murder of Democracy Day' by defaming that very Constitution. It is this Constitution that brought them to power, and now they are disrespecting it,' said Sukhu, taking a direct dig at the BJP's campaign.

Swamiji to sardarji: When PM Modi disguised himself to evade arrest during Emergency
NEW DELHI: Covert activities, innovative tactics and code words for secret meetings like 'Chandan ka Karyakram' - the unconventional methods used by a young RSS pracharak, and now PM, during Emergency had left many surprised, even authorities. 'The Emergency Diaries - Years that Forged a Leader', published by BlueKraft, chronicles Modi's role after speaking to several people associated with him at that time. Evading detection as a member of the banned RSS during Emergency, Modi travelled in disguises - in one instance as a "swamiji" to visit a jail to speak to incarcerated activists. He was there for nearly an hour, according to the book, released at an event to mark 'Samvidhan Hatya Diwas' by home minister Amit Shah. In the book, RSS volunteer Hasmukh Patel talked about Modi's keen mind for innovative outreaches, noting that he suggested placing anti-Emergency literature in barber shops where people from different walks of life gathered, and with religious leaders as followers came to listen to them. "He not only ensured regular publication of anti-Emergency literature, but also took on the perilous responsibility of distributing it throughout Gujarat. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo His 'sardarji' disguise was so convincing even his close acquaintances failed to recognise him," the book said. Long-time RSS volunteer Nagar Bhai Chavda said Sangh members often organised meetings and called them 'Chandan ka Karyakram'. Modi introduced them to these terms, he said, adding that the young pracharak carefully selected houses where they met. For example, during Emergency, Modi would only stay in houses with two or more exits.
