Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a debate on the Constitution in Lok Sabha, tore into the Congress, saying the party “will not be able to wash away the sin of Emergency”. In a reference to the national Emergency that was imposed by PM Indira Gandhi in 1975, PM Modi on Saturday said the Constitution was torn apart when it was completing 25 years as the rights of the citizens were snatched. “The Constitution was torn apart when it was completing 25 years; the Emergency was imposed (in 1975), all constitutional rights were snatched and the country was turned into a jail. All the rights of the citizens were snatched and there was a clampdown on media. Congress will never be able to clear this stain,” PM Modi said.
