Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked the 1975 Emergency as a dark period that assaulted the Indian Constitution.
The government now observes June 25 as 'Samvidhan Hatya Diwas' to remember the suppression of democratic rights.
The Emergency era lasted from June 1975 to March 1977, involving widespread arrests and institutional weakening.
The observance aims to reaffirm the nation's commitment to protecting liberty, justice, and democratic values.
