Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Wednesday that the memories of the Emergency should be kept alive so that no one can implement dictatorial ideas on the country.
Addressing an event organized on the 50th anniversary of the Emergency announcement, Shah said that when it comes to social and national life, such incidents should be remembered forever so that the youth and teenage of the country are aware and are ready to oppose injustice.

The Indira Gandhi government imposed an emergency on 25 June 1975. The Modi government saw this day as ‘Samvidan Hatya Day’.
“Today, we have gathered here to remember a dark chapter in the history of later independence.
