Addressing the media, BJP leaders remarked, "Today marks the 50th anniversary of a bleak chapter in India's democratic journey. The Emergency period symbolized an era where the nation was transformed into a virtual prison, freedoms were curtailed, the press was muzzled, and the sanctity of the Constitution was undermined."

They continued, "Ironically, the Congress party, which orchestrated this ignominious period, now claims to be the guardian of the Constitution. This party, with its 'Emergency DNA,' has consistently shown no remorse in undermining the press and attacking intellectuals who speak out against injustice."
