This day will serve to keep the eternal flame of democracy and individual freedom alive among Indians.
Prime Minister Modi’s Remarks
According to Prime Minister Modi, June 25 will serve as a reminder to citizens of the conditions that the country faced after the constitution was destroyed. This is a day to remember all those who endured immense suffering during the emergency. The country will always remember Congress’ oppressive measures as a dark chapter in Indian history. The notification states that by declaring an emergency, the previous administration grossly abused its authority. This declaration seeks to commit Indians to never again support any form of abuse of power.
