The Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day on Wednesday after opposition Congress members created uproar and objected to the newly elected Speaker Om Birla reading out a resolution on the 1975 Emergency, labelling it as “a dark chapter in India’s history”. Ruling BJP and other NDA members came out of the House, shouted slogans against the Emergency and displayed placards. In the resolution, Speaker Om Birla said, “This House strongly condemns the decision to impose Emergency in 1975. Along with this, we applaud the determination of all those who opposed the Emergency, fought tyranny and discharged their responsibility of protecting democracy in India. 25th June 1975, shall always be known as a black chapter in the history of India. On this day, the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed an Emergency in the country and attacked the Constitution made by Babasaheb Ambedkar. India is known all over the world as the Mother of Democracy. Democratic values and debates have always been protected and encouraged in India. Dictatorship was imposed on India on that day by Indira Gandhi. Our democratic values were crushed and our freedom of expression was strangled."from IndiaTV India: Google News Feed https://ift.tt/KICs0Pw
