Emergency by Indira was undemocratic: Joshi
Dharwad: Union minister Pralhad Joshi said the 50th year of the dark days of Emergency in India is being observed throughout the country to inform the younger generation about how the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed the Emergency and ruled for 21 months without constitutional and moral authority. Speaking at the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Sabha and the inauguration of the 50th year of remembrance of the struggle during the Emergency, organised by the BJP at Karnataka Vidyavardhaka Sangha here, he said Emergency was imposed on June 25, 1975 and during that time, protests were suppressed, many protesters including all the leaders of opposition parties were imprisoned, and several people lost their lives, he explained. "Indira Gandhi was accused of misusing her power during the elections by Raj Narain, who took the matter to court. Justice HR Khanna of the Allahabad High Court had delivered the verdict in favour of Raj Narain and had declared Indira's election null and void. That judgement copy is not available anymore," he added. "Jawaharlal Nehru made the first constitutional amendment. Later, Indira Gandhi made several amendments including to Articles 38, 39, and 42. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ford&Go.

Himachal BJP leaders hold protest over FIR against Bindal, others
Targeting the Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu led Congress government in the state, former chief minister Jai Ram Thakur accused it of targeting Hindus. 'Sukhu is conspiring to trap people belonging to Hindu society and send them to jail. He is trying to crush the sentiments of Hindutva and humiliate them,' said leader of opposition Jai Ram, during the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Sabha at Paonta Sahib in Sirmaur district on Wednesday. The statement was made during the protest organised by the BJP against the registration of attempt to murder case against 100 protestors, including party's state president Rajiv Bindal and MLA Sukhram Chaudhary, after they held protest seeking action against the accused involved in alleged abduction of a 18-year-old. Thakur said, 'The case filed against the Hindu community should be withdrawn. The police and administration should stop working under the protection of the government.' Congress government is harassing rivals: Bindal Bindal said that the present Congress government in the state has been harassing political rivals. Bindal alleged that on the orders of the Congress government, at the behest of local Congress leaders, the police and administration are harassing the people of the Hindu community, arresting them, creating an atmosphere of terror and filing cases of attempted murder against everyone, while not taking any action against those who pelted bricks and because of whom this matter started. 'This is the vote bank policy of the Congress and the atmosphere of the area is being spoiled for its sake,' said Bindal.
