This statement led to protests from Opposition members in the House. 

PM Modi further said that it is important to educate the youth about the Emergency, calling it a crucial reminder of the consequences of disregarding the Constitution, suppressing public opinion, and undermining institutions. He asserted that the events of the Emergency period illustrated the nature of dictatorship. 

Birla referred to June 25, 1975, as a "black chapter" in Indian history, criticising Indira Gandhi for imposing the Emergency and "attacking the Constitution crafted by Babasaheb Ambedkar". He stated that during the Emergency, India, globally known as the mother of democracy, had its democratic values crushed and freedom of expression strangled.
