Union Home Minister Amit Shah declared that June 25 will now be commemorated annually as 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas' (Constitution murder day), marking the imposition of Emergency by PM Indira Gandhi in 1975. Shah emphasized the significance of honoring those who endured hardships during the Emergency, criticizing the stifling of democracy and media freedom. Prime Minister Narendra Modi endorsed the decision, framing it as a reminder against constitutional subversion. In response, Congress termed June 4 as 'Modi Mukti Diwas' in a counter narrative. The move underscores ongoing political debates over democratic principles and historical interpretations.
