The Indian government has decided to observe June 25 every year as 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas' to mark the imposition of the Emergency in 1975.

Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, Amit Shah in his posts on X platform said that on June 25, 1975, the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in a brazen display of a 'dictatorial mindset, strangled the soul of our democracy' by imposing the Emergency on the nation.

"Lakhs of people were thrown behind bars for no fault of their own, and the voice of the media was silenced," Shah said.

"The Government of India has decided to observe the 25th of June every year as 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas'. This day will commemorate the massive contributions of all those who endured the inhuman pains of the 1975 Emergency," he said.

The decision made by the government led by PM Shri @narendramodi Ji is intended to honor the spirit of millions who struggled to revive democracy despite facing inexplicable persecution at the hands of an oppressive government.

Union Home Minister said that the decision made by the government led by PM Narendra Modi is intended to honour the spirit of millions who struggled to revive democracy despite facing inexplicable persecution at the hands of an oppressive government.

"The observance of 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas' will help keep the eternal flame of individual freedom and the defence of our democracy alive in every Indian, thus preventing any dictatorial force from repeating those horrors," he said.

Former and late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi-led government imposed an Emergency on June 25, 1975.

It led to the suspension of several civil rights over a period of two years.
