"The imposition of emergency in this country, in a way, is the murder of democracy, disrespect of the constitution... This was the beginning of such atrocities, due to which there was an atmosphere of terror in the whole country, sending innocent people to jail, harassing political and social activists, and the work of bringing many such ordinances was done, which cannot be justified in any way. But the whole country got agitated, and as a result of the movement, the government had to bow down, and the country got rid of the emergency..." Maurya told ANI.
