'If Vajpayee were PM in 1975, he too would have imposed Emergency': Sanjay Raut on 'Samvidhan Hatya Divas'
The Government of India on Friday announced that June 25 will be remembered annually as "Constitution Murder Day" in remembrance of the Emergency declared by the Indira Gandhi government in 1975. Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the day would serve as a reminder of the significant sacrifices endured by those who faced the severe hardships of the 1975 Emergency, highlighting their immense contributions. "It has been 50 years, people have forgotten the Emergency. Why was Emergency imposed in this country? Some people want to spread anarchy in the country. An open announcement was made from Ramlila Maidan, our jawans, army were told not to follow the orders of the government. So in such a situation, if Atal Bihari Vajpayee had been the Prime Minister, then he would have also imposed it. It was a matter of national security, some people were making bombs in the country and were exploding bombs at various places. Balasaheb Thackeray had openly supported the Emergency at that time. RSS had also supported it," Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said.
