Fear of losing power haunts Uddhav Thackeray

June 25 will mark the 47th anniversary of the Emergency imposed by the then prime minister Indira Gandhi. As people haven’t forgotten this date, similarly, they haven’t forgotten how she was voted out for throttling democracy for her vested interests. But still, even today, a section of the people argue that Indira Gandhi had no choice but to impose Emergency only to thwart international conspiracy of destabilizing the country. They also deliberately ignore the fact that she had imposed Emergency only out of her sheer fear of losing power. History has references where later, Indira Gandhi, herself, had admitted that her decision of declaring an Emergency in the country was not called for.
