Speaking to the reporters on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Emergency, Scindia said, ‘Today, 25 June is the anniversary of the Emergency. Today we should keep that black day in mind so that such an incident never happens again in the future. Democracy in the country should remain strong. The Constitution of the country is very important for the BJP, NDA government’.
