Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister, fiercely criticized the Congress at a recent event commemorating 50 years since India's Emergency, describing it as a dark period that attempted to shift India from a democracy to a dictatorship.

Shah accused socialist leaders and DMK of aligning with the Congress, a party he claims 'murdered democracy', highlighting the arrests of 1.1 lakh people and the dismissal of non-Congress governments during that time.

Reflecting on the Emergency's legacy, Shah emphasized the importance of remembering this era to prevent similar threats to democracy, while announcing the upcoming release of a book by Prime Minister Narendra Modi detailing the struggle during and after the Emergency.
