Samvidhan Hatya Diwas

New Delhi, June 25, 2025 – Marking half a century since the declaration of Emergency in 1975, the Government of India commemorated the day as Samvidhan Hatya Diwas (Constitution Killing Day). The occasion served as a reminder of a critical and controversial period in India's democratic history when civil liberties were suspended and constitutional principles were undermined. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman made a public statement, condemning the Emergency era imposed by the then Congress regime. She remarked that the Emergency stemmed from the misuse of legal authority, suppression of judicial freedom, and blatant neglect of constitutional values. In a post shared on social media, Sitharaman stated, “The Emergency was a result of weaponising laws, weakening judicial independence, and disregarding the rule of law.” She further criticized current Congress leaders, pointing out the irony of them showcasing the Constitution while the party’s past actions contradicted its spirit. She emphasized, “Even today, as some hold the Constitution in their hands, the nation remembers the trauma inflicted five decades ago.” The Emergency period, declared on June 25, 1975, remains a defining episode in India’s political history, marked by mass detentions, press censorship, and curtailed civil freedoms.
