Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said today's youth and the coming generations should never forget the dreadful period of the Emergency, stating that an attempt had been made to crush the country's democracy.
“It was the month of June (1975) when Emergency was imposed. In that, all the rights were taken away from the citizens of the country. One among those rights was the ‘Right to Life and Personal Liberty’... .at that time an attempt was made to crush the democracy of India. The country’s courts, every constitutional institution, the press, were put under control,” he said during his “Mann Ki Baat” address.
