Emergency can happen again in India, LK Advani says

[Anup Tiwari]

NEW DELHI: Senior BJP leader LK
Advani has said that Emergency can
happen again in India. "I do not say that the political leadership is not mature. But I don't have the confidence that it (Emergency) cannot happen again," Advani said in an interview in the Indian Express. The senior BJP leader said that there are no signs in Indian polity which assure him that the Emergency can't be imposed in India again. "I do not see any sign in our polity that assures me, any outstanding aspect of leadership. A commitment to democracy and to all other aspects related to democracy is lacking," Advani said.

NEW DELHI: BJP patriarch L K
Advani's statement that "forces that
can crush democracy are stronger"
made in the context of the
Emergency imposed by the Indira
Gandhi government in 1975, created
a buzz in political circles on
Thursday, with many interpreting it
in the present day context and
suspecting it as a barb directed at
the Narendra Modi government.
While both BJP and RSS dismissed
the "interpretation", opposition
parties from Congress to Aam Aadmi
Party sought to play up the issue
saying they shared the BJP veteran's
concern.
