The point is that neither the Fundamental Rights have been formally suppressed, nor the situation on ground resembles that of the Emergency days.
Today's newspapers under banner headlines have carried the news of train collision and deaths. At least the IE, in its editorial, has asked for the scalp of the concerned minister. That could have had not been even dreamt of, let alone done, under the 1975 Emergency. The list can be made just endless. In fact, a check list has already been provided in my initial mail. This very debate in public speaks for itself. Brutal state repressions must be fought against. But inventing stories only undermines credibility and such fights. Most importantly, under Emergency only underground resistance could have been thought of. No other form was possible. Today's task is open mass mobilisation, resistance and campaigns. This is the gulf that separates the two situations.
