‘Emergency Dark Era in Country’s History’

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said Emergency was a dark era in the country’s history when atrocities were committed on those supporting democracy.

He asserted that India is the mother of democracy which holds democratic values and the Constitution supreme and, therefore, “we cannot forget June 25 when Emergency was imposed on us”.

Emergency was imposed in 1975 by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
