A Tale Of Twists And Turns Of Two Leaders During Emergency

The New Indian Express Kollam

|

June 22, 2025

N Sakthan Nadar would probably be the only leader who has happy memories of the period

- ANIL S @T'Puram

HALF A century after the country suffered through Emergency, the twists and turns that it left behind in Kerala continues to spin curious political tales. As the nation prepares to observe the 50th anniversary of Emergency on June 25, not many would be aware of how two veterans of state politics, switched to the other side of the political spectrum during the period.

The dark days of the Emergency are obviously something that the entire Congress leadership in Kerala would want to forget; but not him. Senior Congress leader and former speaker N Sakthan Nadar would probably be the only leader who has happy memories associated with the period.

Sakthan, who was part of the Kerala Congress -- not a Congress ally back then -- underwent a two-month jail term in the initial days of Emergency in 1975.
