Speaking on the occasion, BJP leaders said that Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and party leader Rahul Gandhi, who are accusing the BJP of changing the Constitution, have forgotten that the Congress had insulted the same document during the Emergency.
Captain Abhimanyu said that Indira Gandhi arbitrarily declared the emergency without consulting anyone to fulfill her self-interest and retain power as the Prime Minister of India.
He said, "As a responsible political organisation, the BJP has taken the responsibility of making the people of the entire country aware about the dark side of the declaration of emergency as a measure to avoid such anti-constitutional activities in future."
Emergency was declared at midnight on June 25, 1975, which lasted till March 21, 1977.
