Political Debate Heats Up Over 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas'

Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP) criticized the BJP-led Centre for its decision to observe June 25 as 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas', marking the anniversary of the 1975 Emergency. Leaders argue that the BJP is focusing on the past rather than addressing current issues, drawing parallels between the Emergency period and the present governance.

Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP) have vocally criticized the BJP-led Centre for designating June 25 as 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas', a day to mark the commencement of the 1975 Emergency. The opposition parties argue that this move highlights the BJP’s focus on the past instead of tackling future challenges.

Senior Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut noted that it has been 50 years since the Emergency was declared, yet the BJP continues to dwell on previous decades rather than addressing contemporary issues. Raut criticized the current administration, likening Prime Minister Narendra Modi's tenure to an era resembling the Emergency period.

NCP (SP) spokesperson Clyde Crasto took to social media to accuse the BJP of clinging to its failed political ambitions, implying that if they had secured more seats, they would have declared a day to commemorate changes in the Constitution. The Home Ministry's recent notification proclaimed June 25 as a significant date to remember the adversities and human rights issues faced during the Emergency.
