On the 40th anniversary of the Emergency rule in India, PM Modi recounted the event with a series of tweets.
We mark 40 years of one of India's darkest periods- the Emergency, when the then political leadership trampled over our democracy.

Inspired by the call of JP, several men & women across India selflessly immersed themselves in the movement to safeguard our democracy.

We are very proud of the lakhs of people, who resisted the Emergency & whose efforts ensured that our democratic fabric is preserved.

Personally, the Emergency brings back many memories. As youngsters, we learnt a lot during the anti-Emergency movement.

Emergency was a great opportunity to work with a wide spectrum of leaders & organisations fighting for the same goal- return of democracy.

A vibrant liberal democracy is the key to progress. Let us do everything possible to further strengthen our democratic ideals & ethos.
