New Delhi, June 25 : Union Home Minister Amit Shah, while reflecting on the Emergency era, stated that it is a 'stigma' on the Congress party that could never be removed.

In a tweet, he accused the Congress party of imposing the Emergency on the nation out of the fear of losing power. He stated that in reality, it was the murder of democracy committed by the Congress.

"On this very day in 1975, a family driven by the fear of losing power imposed a state of emergency in the country, depriving the people of their rights and committing the murder of democracy," his tweet read.
