CM Parkash Singh Badal rules out any possibility of re-imposition of emergency i

Terming Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi Government in 1975 as a black spot on Indian polity, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today completely ruled out any possibility of its re-imposition in the country. Interacting with the mediapersons on the sidelines of inauguration of Markfed cannery here, the Chief Minister said the punishment given to the perpetrators of this heinous crime against democracy, by the people, would ever act as a deterrent for anybody to repeat this mistake again. Recalling the black days of emergency, he said it was a darkest hour for democracy as both the political class from opposition and press were crushed by those in power. However, Mr Badal said currently there was no such threat to Indian democracy at this juncture as the routing of Indira government in post emergency era had given a befitting lesson to anti-democratic forces.
