The loktantra Senani Sangh observed the anniversary of emergency imposed in the country by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. During the program, the State president of Sangh Tapan Bhowmik welcomed Union Environment Minister Prakash Jawdekar, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Giriraj Kishore, Kailash Sarang and freedom fighters and also explained the role of the Association.
On this occasion, Jawdekar said that the credit for the end of emergency goes to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sang (RSS), Bharatiya Jansangh and other organizations associated. He further said that after the formation of Bangladesh in 1971 the victory for Indira Gandhi was a bonus, but during that time the country was struggling with malpractice and corruption. The fight against corruption by Congress was lead by Jayprakash. In gujrat The Chamanbai government lost in the election and Indira Gandhi’s lok Sabha election was nullified as the case of misuse of Allahabad High Court came into light.
Indira Gandhi declared emergency on June 25 to 26, 1975 and set an example of atrocious behavior. Congress has never apologized for that act of atrocity towards the nation and its democracy.
The struggle for freedom lasted from 1875 to 1947 but it has never seen a bigger jail than on June 25 and 26, 1975.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh said that when called upon by the folk hero Jayprakash Narayan the people had a new energy and had faith in him. When he was passing through Bhopal, around 40,000 students went to pay him a visit. At that time Chouhan was in 11th standard and 16 years old and also supported his movement. During those days staying underground and working was the highest form of risk one could take, added Chouhan.
State President and Member of Parliament Nandkumar Singh Chouhan said that 41 years before, after midnight on June 25, 1975 the Constitution was rendered Invalid by the declaration of emergency. With the greed of power the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi closed the doors of justice to the citizens and took away their freedom.
