In a recent discussion, Union Home Minister Amit Shah shed light on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's underground resistance during the 1975 Emergency, as detailed in Modi's new book, 'The Emergency Diaries - Years that Forged a Leader'.

Shah recounted instances of Modi's covert activities, emphasizing his resourcefulness in disguising himself as various personas, including a sadhu and newspaper vendor, to support detainees and circulate clandestine publications.
