The Central government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has declared June 25 as 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas' or 'Constitution Murder Day' to commemorate the 1975 Emergency and pay homage to those who suffered during it. The decision was also supported by President Droupadi Murmu and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, who condemned the imposition of the Emergency by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and called it a dark chapter in Indian history. On the 50th anniversary of the Emergency, the government aims to remind people of the atrocities and violation of civil liberties that occurred during this time.
