New Delhi, June 26 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on June 26 said that during the Emergency imposed in 1975 attempts were made to crush democracy in India. Addressing the 90th episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’, PM Modi said, “I want to ask a question to the youth of the country, do you know when your parents were of your age once, even their right to life was snatched? This had happened in the month of June 1975, when an Emergency was imposed.” “During that period, all the rights of the citizens were taken away. Among these rights, was the right to life and personal liberty to citizens guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution. At that time, attempts were made to crush democracy in India,” he added.
