PM Recalls Emergency, Extends Eid Wishes

Prime Minister Narendra Modi.



Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on 25 June, recalled the Emergency imposed on the country 42 years ago on 25 June, and said it was the darkest time in the history of India.

No Indian, no patriot can ever forget the 1975 Emergency. 25 June was the darkest day in the history of India and its democracy as the whole nation had turned into a prison and the press had become ineffective.

India and its leaders proved their patriotism by fighting against the Emergency, PM Modi said in the 33rd edition of his monthly radio programme ‘Mann Ki Baat’.

“The Emergency was the resistance movement in which leaders were jailed. It will be remembered for the way in which people of India came together and safeguarded the democratic values,” he added.




‘India’s Diversity Is Her Strength’Congratulating the people on the occasion of Ramzan, Modi said that Eid-ul-Fitr is the festival of happiness and more we share happiness on this occasion, the more it increases. “Ramzan is a very auspicious occasion. The more we share happiness on this occasion the more it increases. My best wishes to the people on the occasion,” he said.
 
 

India’s diversity is its uniqueness and strength. Holy Monthof Ramzan is observed with reverence. Heartiest greetings
to all on Eid.





  • Extending his wishes on the occasion of Jagannath Yatra, PM Modi said that diversity is the country’s uniqueness and its strength.
    “Lord Jagannath is the lord of poor and I am happy that it is being celebrated with such happiness. Today in many parts of the world the festival is being celebrated in some way or the other. I wish my greetings to the people of the country on the occasion,” said Modi.
    The word Juggernaut in English is derived from Jagannath, he added.


  • ‘Those Who Play Sports, Shine’
    PM Modi also congratulated badminton ace Kidambi Srikanth on his 
    Indonesia Open win. On 25 June, Kidambi also won the Australian Open
     final with a stunning straight-game win over reigning Olympic 
    and world champion Chen Long in the Australian Open final.
