BY A STAFF REPORTER: Prime Minister Narendra Modi again targeted Congress. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday criticised the imposition of emergency in the country during indira Gandhi's tenure. Today he said, ‘India is the mother of democracy. We cannot forget 25th June. The day when emergency was imposed. It was a dark period in the history of India. Millions of people opposed the emergency with all their might. The supporters of democracy were tortured so much during that time that even today, the mind shudders. Today when we celebrate Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav we must also observe such crimes. This will teach the young generations the meaning and importance of democracy.’
