Ravinder Raina, while addressing the gathering, ferociously attacked the Congress party for murdering democracy for personal benefits of single family. He said that by imposing Emergency, Congress and the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi proved that they have no respect for the Constitution of India and the Democratic values. “Rahul Gandhi should seek apology from the people and come clear that why his maternal grandmother imposed Emergency in 1975 and made mockery of democracy in the entire world”, said Raina.
He said that when Allahabad High Court debarred former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi from the contesting in any type of elections, Congress party made mockery of entire judicial and democratic system and imposed emergency in the entire nation arresting and silencing every sane voice that stood opposed to Congress party. Raina said that Indira Gandhi’s election from Raibareli parliamentary constituency was quashed and cancelled by Allahabad highcourt on the ground that she had misused state machinery, therefore was the result of corrupt practices adopted by Indira Gandhi. This judgement of the Allahabad high court was challenged by Indira Gandhi in the supreme court of India and the judge namely justice VR Krishna Aiyer was approached by the secretary to Indira Gandhi a day prior to the hearing of the case in the supreme court of India and this has been admitted by justice Krishna Aiyer in his autobiography namely the ” Legendaries”, this is how Congress misuse the constitution of India and the judicial system of the country.
