Lucknow, 25 June (HS): “The black chapter of 25 June 1975 - It

was a vile attempt to strip away the rights of Dalits, the deprived, the backward,

women, and every voter. This was also a direct assault on the dreams of 'Bharat

Ratna' Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Ji. The Congress's Yuvaraj goes around

the country with a copy of the Constitution, throwing dust in the eyes of the

public. But when these people and their ancestors got the chance, what did they

do. The late Mulayam Singh Ji used to say that everything will be fine, but

there should be no alliance with the Congress, but what are their successors

doing? “ quipped Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on the 51st

anniversary of the Emergency, at a program organized in Lucknow on the occasion

of 'Constitution Murder Day'.

“When the world did not know about democracy, democratic

values and systems aligned with them were being operated in the villages of

India. The very meaning of democracy is this—government of the people, by the

people, for the people... Ever since a government dedicated to democratic

values came to power in the state, numerous committed steps have been taken for

the welfare of democracy fighters,” he added.

“To preserve only its power intact, the Congress committed

the grave sin on this very day in 1975 by imposing Emergency on the country and

strangling democracy. On the 51st anniversary of the Emergency, I participated

in the 'Constitution Murder Day' program organized today in Lucknow and viewed

the exhibition based on the tragedy of the Emergency. On this occasion, I also

honored the democracy fighters who contributed to protecting democracy amid the

adverse circumstances of the Emergency. Salutations to the sacred memories of

all known and unknown democracy fighters,” he mentioned in a post on X.
