Emergency can happen again in India : L.K Advani
Highlights
It was reported that senior BJP leader L.K Advani said that there are chances for an emergency period in India again.“I do not say that the political leadership is not mature. But I don’t have the confidence that it cannot happen again,” Advani said.
It was reported that senior BJP leader L.K Advani said that there are chances for an emergency period in India again.“I do not say that the political leadership is not mature. But I don’t have the confidence that it cannot happen again,” Advani said.
The senior BJP leader said that there are no signs in Indian polity which assure him that the emergency can’t be imposed in India again.
"At the present point of time, the forces that can crush democracy, notwithstanding the constitutional and legal safeguards, are stronger," Advani told a national daily. In the years since the Emergency in 1975-77, he said, nothing has been done that gives the assurance that civil liberties will not be suspended or destroyed again.
Commenting on Advani's remarks, RSS ideologue MG Vaidya said: "He (Advani) is quite senior in age and experience. So he can talk to Modi. He is in the Margdarshak Mandal of BJP. I don't think he has an intention of sending a message to Modi through this interview."
"I think Advaniji was referring to institutions rather than to individuals. I respect his views, but I personally don't see Emergency, any chance of any Emergency being re-imposed in the country. I think that age is over. Indian democracy is too strong, much stronger now," BJP spokesperson MJ Akbar said.
