25th June 2024- The Odisha unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) marked today as a ‘Black Day’ in remembrance of the declaration of Emergency by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on June 25, 1975. This day marks a significant event in Indian history when fundamental rights were suspended and democratic institutions were curtailed for 21 months.
Former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s decision to impose an Emergency stirred widespread criticism and protests across the nation. To commemorate this dark chapter in Indian democracy, the BJP observed the day as a reminder of the importance of safeguarding democratic principles and upholding the freedoms of citizens.
The observance of ‘Black Day’ by the BJP in Odisha underscores their stance against authoritarian measures and commitment to protecting democratic values.
