Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut.
Sanjay Raut: The government and the opposition have come face to face over the Emergency. Politics has heated up after the government declared June 25 as ‘Samvidhan Hatya Diwas’. Verbal attacks are being made from both sides. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut has targeted the BJP. He said on Saturday that they have no other work left. It has been 50 years since the Emergency was imposed in the country. People have forgotten it. Raut asked why did the need arise to impose an Emergency in the country?
If Vajpayee was the PM, he would have done the same: Raut
Raut said, ‘In 1975, some people wanted to spread anarchy in the country. It was openly announced from Ramlila Maidan that the army and its soldiers should not follow the orders of the government. In such a situation, if Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the Prime Minister of the country at that time, he would also have imposed emergency. This was a decision taken in national interest. At that time, some people were making bombs in the country and were carrying out explosions at many places. Bala Saheb Thackeray openly supported the emergency. RSS also supported it.’
what did the PM say
Let us tell you that Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday that celebrating ‘Samvidhan Hatya Diwas’ on 25 June will remind us what happens when the Constitution of India is crushed. On X, he wrote, ‘This is also a day to pay tribute to everyone who was oppressed due to the excesses of the Emergency. Congress started this dark period in Indian history.’ This comment of PM Modi came after Home Minister Amit Shah announced to celebrate ‘Samvidhan Hatya Diwas’ on 25 June.
