Emergency a dark spot on vibrant democracy: Modi
New Delhi: Speaking about the Emergency, PM Narendra Modi on Sunday said it had been a "dark spot on the vibrant democracy of the country". But, "the people of the country countered such conspiracies in a democratic manner and we all feel proud of our democracy," he said in his address to the Indian diaspora in Munich.
Earlier in his Mann Ki Baat, Modi said, "I want to ask a question to the youth of today's generation, to the youth in the age group of 24-25 years, and the question is very serious... do ponder my question over. Did you know that when your parents were your age, once even their right to life was snatched away from them? You must be thinking how could this have happened? This is just impossible! But this had happened once in our country," the PM said as he started the radio talk with reference to Emergency and the mass movement that followed which he said was of great importance in the life of every citizen of the country.
