Cong took satanic pleasure implementing ‘Emergency’: BJP

Khammam: “No matter how many years pass, the nation of India will not forgive the consequences of the Emergency imposed by the Congress government under the leadership of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi,” commented BJP Kisan Morcha State president Kondapally Sridhar Reddy.

In a meeting held at the BJP camp office on the Khammam Rural Warangal Cross Road as part of the activities organised by the BJP National Party on the call of the National Party on Tuesday, he said that thousands of democratic activists and nationalists had been illegally arrested and jailed across the country due to Indira Gandhi’s arrogant decision.

He alleged that many nationalists and democrats were subjected to violence due to the Emergency imposed by the then Congress government. Reddy commented that the nationalists who fought against the Emergency were an inspiration of today’s generation. He stated that Darapuneni Koteswara Rao was in Warangal Central Jail for 18 months because of many illegal arrests of Janasang RSS workers from the joint Khammam district.
