Emergency 1975 – The unforgivable sin of Congress All major democratic institutions like bureaucracy, police, media and judiciary were made to collapse by Congress govt. Before the President’s signature on the declaration papers, top national leaders like JP Narayan, Morarji Desai, L.K.Advani and AB Vajpayee along with hundreds of others had been imprisoned overnight. According to a report of the International Human Rights Organization, 1,40,000 people had been arrested without trial during then Congress Prime Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi’s emergency. The RSS defied the ban imposed on it and thousands participated in Satyagraha (peaceful protests) against the ban and against the curtailment of fundamental rights. Forcible sterilization (the dreaded nasbandi) created a strong terror wave throughout the country. Millions of helpless people were subjected to forcible sterilization and many lost their lives.
