34 Years Back on this day the 25th June 1975 was the blackest day in Post Independence India when Indira Gandhi who heading the dynastic Congress Party imposed an ‘Internal Emergency’ in India to suppress her opponents and not due to internal security of the country. The political agitation against this corrupt, arrogant , dictatorial PM was led by India’s most respected Gandhian leader Shri Jaya Prakash Narayan who stood for high moral values in his political life. Indira Gandhi refused to submit resignation demanded by them following the judgment by Allahabad High Court on an election petition charging her with electoral corruption in Parliamentary Elections. Rather than to submit gracefully to the verdict given in the Court judgment the Congress Prime Minister by political subterfuge decided to continue in office. The proclamation was signed by then puppet President Fakhruddin Ahmad who did not even question the reasons from the Prime Minister for such a grave measure. Overnight, hundreds of political Opposition leaders and activists were arrested and put in jails all over India. The Indian media who is now boot licking the Congress leadership was that time strangled and put under stringent censorship. Human rights and freedoms were brutally suppressed by the Indira Gandhi regime. India’s Supreme Court judiciary was interfered with. The Indian democracy stood subverted by Congress Party Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and India was to be under a draconian siege till the 1977 General Elections.
