On the 49th anniversary of the Emergency, Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi described the period as a 'black chapter' in Indian history, urging citizens to safeguard democracy and national dignity.
In a post on X, Ravi reminisced about 25 June 1975, when democracy was reportedly suppressed by a dictator who grossly violated the Constitution, suspended civil liberties, silenced the media, and subjugated the judiciary.
The Governor also shared his personal experiences from his university days during the Emergency, which spanned from 1975-77 when Indira Gandhi was the Prime Minister. He called for a collective resolve to prevent any recurrence of this 'black chapter'.
