In her maiden speech in the House after being elected MP from Wayanad in Kerala, Vadra accused the Modi government of "oppressing" people and spreading "fear", and that the Constitution gave common people courage in the face of oppression.
Speaking immediately after Union Defence Minister and BJP senior leader Rajnath Singh listed the excesses of the Emergency and attacked the Congress and her family, she told the government to learn from it and apologise for its mistakes.
"My friends there were saying this and that happened in 1975 (the imposition of Emergency). Toh seekh leejiye na aap bhi (so you also learn a lesson). You also apologise for your mistakes," she said. She asked the government to return to elections through ballot papers and then see what happens.
