Newspapers were banned from printing anything against the government, Opposition leaders were put behind the bars in bulk including LK Advani, Atal Bihar Vajpayee, Jai Prakash Narayan and many others.
1975 में आज ही के दिन मात्र अपने राजनीतिक हितों के लिए देश के लोकतंत्र की हत्या की गयी। देशवासियों से उनके मूलभूत अधिकार छीन लिए गए, अखबारों पर ताले लगा दिए गए। लाखों राष्ट्रभक्तों ने लोकतंत्र को पुनर्स्थापित करने के लिए अनेकों यातनाएं सहीं।
