The term "Undeclared Emergency" is evidently a gross misnomer. During the Emergency all fundamentals rights are suspended. The actual experiences of 1975 are as under: Open political protests proscribed, media subjected to pre-censorship. Most front ranking opposition leaders and large number of opposition workers jailed. No Habeas Corpus could be filed. No elections.
Fake encounters did exist before and after Emergency. So did multiple forms of brutal state repressions. That is rather "normal". Does not call for "Emergency". People this time approached the court. Such further legal recourse is still open. Apart from that a public event is being held with all the possible publicity. The inference is self-evident. Crying wolf doesn't help. That undermines credibility. State repressions as they are have of course to be determinedly fought against without recourse to obvious lies.
