Speaking at a programme on Emergency in Mumbai, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched scathing attack on the Congress party for imposing Emergency and turning the country into a jail.
Shri Modi said, “Today's youth do not have an idea of what happened during Emergency. They will not realise the how living without freedoms can be. They must be made aware of what happened during those days.”
Prime Minister Modi assailed the Congress for spreading fear and rumours among people. He said, “Whenever the family has feared losing its position, it keeps shouting that the Country is in crisis and there is an atmosphere of fear.”
“They never imagined that a charge of corruption could be framed against them in Court and they would have to take bail. Hence, they are trying to scare the judiciary by bringing an impeachment motion. Their mentality now is the same as it was during Emergency”, he added.
“The party which has no internal democracy cannot be expected to adhere to the ideals of democracy” Shri Modi added.
Today's youth do not have an idea of what happened during Emergency.
