Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Tuesday said the nearly two-year-long Emergency was the "darkest period of Indian history", the "barbarity" of which has caused the date of its proclamation being observed as the 'Samvidhan Hatya Diwas'. He made the remarks in the north Bihar town of Muzaffarpur, where he was speaking as the chief guest at the foundation day celebrations of L N Mishra College of Management. "The date June 25, falling tomorrow, was a black day (kaala diwas) 50 years ago. Democratic values had been trampled upon under the dark shadow of the Emergency... It has been decided to observe June 25 as 'Samvidhan Hatya Diwas' (the day on which democracy was murdered). Boys and girls, that is an occasion for you to know about the barbarity committed during Emergency, the darkest period of Indian history," he said.
