On 45 yrs of Emergency, Modi salutes those who fought for democracy Last Updated : 25 Jun 2020 05:56:17 PM IST Prime Minister Narendra Modi On the occasion of the 45th anniversary of Emergency, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday paid tributes to the people who fought for the protection of democracy in India, saying the country will never forget their sacrifices.
In a tweet in Hindi, Modi said, "Emergency was imposed on the country exactly 45 years ago. At the time, people who fought for the protection of India's democracy, suffered torture, I salute them all! The country will never forget their sacrifices."आज से ठीक 45 वर्ष पहले देश पर आपातकाल थोपा गया था। उस समय भारत के लोकतंत्र की रक्षा के लिए जिन लोगों ने संघर्ष किया, यातनाएं झेलीं, उन सबको मेरा शत-शत नमन! उनका त्याग और बलिदान देश कभी नहीं भूल पाएगा। pic.twitter.com/jlQVJQVrsX

Overnight the nation was turned into a prison. The press, courts, free speech... all were trampled over. Atrocities were committed on the poor and downtrodden."He said that due to the efforts of lakhs of people, the Emergency was lifted. "Democracy was restored in India, but it remained absent in the Congress. The interests of one family prevailed over party interests and national interests. This sorry state of affairs thrives in today's Congress too," Shah said in another tweet.The Home Minister also asked the Congress why even after 45 years, the Emergency mindset still remains.IANS New Delhi For Latest Updates Please-
