By A Staff Reporter

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has announced that the government will observe June 25th every year as 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas' to commemorate the imposition of the Emergency in 1975 by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. This day will honor those who suffered during this period.

"On June 25, 1975, the then PM Indira Gandhi, in a brazen display of a dictatorial mindset, strangled the soul of our democracy by imposing the Emergency on the nation. Lakhs of people were thrown behind bars for no fault of their own, and the voice of the media was silenced. The Government of India has decided to observe the 25th of June every year as 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas.' This day will commemorate the massive contributions of all those who endured the inhuman pains of the 1975 Emergency," said Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
