On May 29, 2025, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of planning a special Parliament session on June 25–26 to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1975 Emergency, labeling it a diversion from pressing national issues. Ramesh criticized the Modi government for ignoring calls to convene Parliament to discuss India's cross-border strikes following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. He highlighted that both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha Opposition Leaders requested a special session to demonstrate national resolve, which was not accepted. Ramesh alleged that Modi has subjected the nation to an "undeclared Emergency" for 11 years, diverting attention from critical matters. (PC: The Statesman, Business Standard & Indus Dispatch)
