The Union government announced that June 25 will henceforth be observed as ‘Samvidhan Hatya Diwas’, marking the day in 1975 when former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed a nationwide Emergency. Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that observing June 25 as ‘Samvidhan Hatya Diwas’ will serve as a “reminder of what happens when the Constitution of India was trampled over.” Home minister Amit Shah shared the government’s decision on Friday.
