Chandigarh, Jun 26 (UNI) On the 50th anniversary of the emergency being imposed on the country by the Congress party, the BJP organized a seminar on 'Samvidhan Hatya Diwas' at the party headquarters in Kamalam.
Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri spoke about the atrocities committed on the citizens by the Congress government led by Indira Gandhi during the Emergency.
Puri said that on the night of 25-26 June 1975, the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed Emergency in the country only to save her chair.
“Playing with the basic spirit of the Constitution, 48 amendments were made in the Constitution in 21 days. More than 1,11,000 citizens of the country were put in jail. Newspaper presses were locked, electricity was cut off. Censorship was imposed on news. On the orders of Indira Gandhi's son Sanjay Gandhi, about 60 lakh people were forcibly sterilized by arresting them from their homes. Many unmarried youths were also sterilized. The slum of the poor built near Turkman Gate was destroyed and dozens of people were killed in police firing” he said.
On the occasion, those who agitated for democracy Deshraj Tandon and Jatinder Chopra, who were jailed under MISA law during the Emergency, were publicly honoured.
Petroleum Minister Puri inaugurated an exhibition based on the Emergency at the party headquarters Kamalam. After this, he gave the message of environmental protection by planting saplings in the BJP office premises.
