New Delhi. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has once again created a problem for the Congress by criticizing the emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi. Tharoor has written an article in Malayalam Dainik Deepika about the Emergency announced by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi from 25 June 1975 to 21 March 1977. Describing the Emergency as a black chapter in this, he said that the efforts made for discipline and system often turned into cruelty, which could not be justified in any way. Tharoor also said that today’s India is not India of 1975.
Tharoor further wrote, how independence is eliminated, it was seen by the people in the Emergency in 1975, so the supporters of democracy should always be alert. He said that during the Emergency, action was taken to collapse slums in a city like Delhi, due to which thousands of people became homeless. Nobody paid attention to the welfare of those people. Tharoor said that democracy cannot be taken lightly. Democracy is a precious heritage and this heritage needs to be continuously nurtured and preserved. Shashi Tharoor also mentioned Indira Gandhi’s son Sanjay Gandhi in his article.
Congress MP said that Sanjay Gandhi forcibly launched a sterilization campaign, which became a music example of this. Violence and force were used to meet arbitrary goals. Tharoor said that the greed for centralizing power, suppressing disagreement and bypassing constitutional security measures can be revealed in many forms. Although he also said that we are now far more confident, more developed than before and more strong democracy than in 1975, but despite this emergency lessons remain relevant by worrying ways.
