Amit shah on emergency: Union Home Minister Amit Shah described it as a foundation for the foundation of democracy on completion of 50 years of Emergency. Addressing the program of Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Research Foundation, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that 24 June 1975 was the longest night of independent India because it came after 21 months. At the same time, it was also the shortest night because the constitution that took more than two years and more than 11 months to make it, the kitchen cabinet had canceled it in a moment.
The Union Home Minister said, “If the memory of the emergency is blurred then it is dangerous for the country. The fight against the Emergency in the country kept democracy alive. The people of the country can never accept the dictatorship because democracy is not only a sense of constitution, but it is a public nature.”
He said, “84 people were put in Sabarmati jail from my alone village alone. One night earlier, the citizens of the country suddenly became slaves of the dictator. He was made anti-social elements from the journalist, he was sent to jail by calling the student a student.”
Those who call for the Constitution today, did they call a meeting for the Emergency- Shah
Amit Shah said, “I was only 11 years old during the Emergency. More than 150 people of my gang were jailed. I cannot forget those days and scenes for life. Many people call for the constitution today. Did the Parliament meet for the Emergency?
He said, “We all should remember that there was a big fight at that time, in which many people’s careers ended. Many people stayed in jail and kept seeing everything of their family being destroyed, but this fight kept India’s democracy alive.”
The people of India can never tolerate dictatorship- Shah
Shah said, “Today we are standing with respect by becoming the world’s biggest democracy. The root cause of winning this fight is that the people of our country can never accept dictatorship. India is considered the mother of democracy.”
He said, “Today is the 50th anniversary of the eve of the Emergency. Today is the right day for this seminar. Because when 50 years of good or bad national event are complete, then the society becomes blurred inside the life and the foundation of democracy like emergency is a big danger in life, if society is a big danger in life.
