On June 21, 2025, the Union Government announced that June 25 will be observed every year as “Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas” to remember the Emergency imposed in 1975 by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. On June 25, 1975, civil liberties were suspended, thousands were jailed without trial, and media freedom was crushed. The Emergency is seen as a dark chapter in Indian history due to its suppression of fundamental rights and political dissent.
