The Modi government of India has decided to observe the 25th of June every year as 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas.' On June 25, 1975, the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had imposed the emergency in the country.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi whose government today declared June 25 as 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas' said, “To observe 25th June as Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas will serve as a reminder of what happens when the Constitution of India was trampled over. It is also a day to pay homage to each and every person who suffered due to the excesses of the Emergency, a Congress unleashed dark phase of Indian history.”
In his first reaction after the government's decision, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas' will commemorate massive contributions of all those who endured inhuman pains of 1975 Emergency.”
The decision made by the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is intended to honor the spirit of millions who struggled to revive democracy despite facing inexplicable persecution at the hands of an oppressive government. The observance of 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas' will help keep the eternal flame of individual freedom and the defence of our democracy alive in every Indian, thus preventing dictatorial forces like the Congress from repeating those horrors.”
“The central government has decided to celebrate 25th June every year as 'Samvidhan Hatya Diwas'… I express my gratitude to the Prime Minister for this decision which will remind us of the importance of democracy every year,” said Union Minister and BJP President JP Nadda.
On the government's decision to observe June 25, the day Emergency was declared, as Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas, Congress leader and Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar said, “After the emergency, the Congress party has ruled this country with Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Manmohan Singh and P. V. Narasimha Rao. The people of this country restored confidence in the Congress party…”
“BJP is very upset with the results of the Lok Sabha elections. Now they are not able to understand which way to take, or which weapon to use so that they can stop the things of INDIA alliance. So they are now talking about emergencies…I think they are worried,” said Congress UP president Ajay Rai.
