Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut has criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for their stance on the Emergency imposed in 1975. He stated that while the BJP leaders are attacking the Emergency, Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray had openly supported it. Raut defended the imposition of the Emergency, citing possible threats to the country at that time. He also mentioned the recent controversy surrounding the Indian cricket team's victory at the T20 World Cup and his own break from playing.
