June 25 Declared as Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas in Tribute to Democracy

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath praised the central government's decision to declare June 25 as Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas. He called this move commendable and expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for the historic step.

Adityanath stated that the horrific memories of the Emergency remain a blot on Indian democracy. He said this day will always keep the flame of respect and faith in democratic values alive in the minds of every citizen, according to a statement.

Central Government's Official Notification

Home Minister Amit Shah shared this decision on social media, informing that the central government has issued an official notification. Adityanath also posted on social media platform X with the hashtag #SamvidhaanHatyaDiwas.

Adityanath wrote, "The Government of India's decision, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to observe June 25 every year as Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas is commendable. On this day in 1975, then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had tried to kill Indian democracy by strangling our great Constitution and imposing Emergency on the country."

Significance of Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas

Adityanath emphasised that democracy was restored in the country through the sacrifices of countless satyagrahis. He noted that even today, the horrific memories of the Emergency are present like a blot on our democracy.

"Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas is an effort to keep every Indian alert and cautious about the malicious intentions and conspiracies against the Constitution and democracy by authoritarian, dictatorial parties like Congress," he added.

Strengthening Indian Democracy

This initiative aims to strengthen Indian democracy and keep the spirit of respect and faith in democratic values alive in every citizen. Adityanath expressed heartfelt gratitude to Prime Minister Modi and Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah for this historic decision.

"Jai Hind," concluded the UP chief minister.
