Says order during the period was a result of unchecked power turning into authoritarianism
-
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has criticised the Emergency declared by the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1975, saying the people of the country responded clearly to the excesses of that period by voting her party out of power by a large margin.
In an article published on the measure, which lasted between 25 June 1975 and 21 March 1977, in the Malayalam daily 'Deepika' on Thursday, the Congress Working Committee member termed it "a dark chapter" in India's history and recalled Indira Gandhi's son Sanjay Gandhi's notorious acts, including forced sterilisation campaigns and the merciless demolition of slums in New Delhi.
