Tripura BJP observes 'murder of Constitution' day

Agartala, June 25 (UNI) The ruling BJP observed Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas (Murder of Constitution Day) today across Tripura, recalling the horror of the Emergency promulgated under the rule of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, with seminars, discussions, and public awareness series.
In the central program at Rabindra Shatabarshiki Bhawan, the BJP youth wing hosted a mock parliament debate on Indian democracy among the party's youths. Addressing the gathering Chief Minister highlighted the dark phase of the Indira Gandhi regime.
“She had booked all opposition party leaders, media persons were not allowed to do independent journalism, there was censorship, personal freedom and liberty like provisions were snatched away. A large number of people were sent to jail – those days were black in India,” Saha said.
He stated that the Emergency, which lasted for 21 months from June 25, 1975, to March 21, 1977, was imposed under Article 352 of the Constitution, had made the citizens’ lives terrible. The declaration was made by the then President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed based on the advice of the Prime Minister.
During this period, citizens’ fundamental rights were suspended, opposition leaders were jailed, press freedom was curbed through heavy censorship, and the independence of judiciary was severely undermined, he reminded, adding, “we are condemning those days of Congress in the 50th year of the beginning of Emergency and informing the younger generations about those black days.”
