New Delhi: Comparing the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi with the German dictator Adolf Hitler, the BJP on Monday wondered if the script of 1975 Emergency was inspired by Nazi Germany. In the second of his three parts series of article on the Emergency, Union minister Arun Jaitley said unlike Hitler, Gandhi went a step ahead by endeavouring to transform India into a "dynastic democracy."
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also shared Mr Jaitley's blog on his Twitter handle."@arunjaitley writes about the dark days of the Emergency, the trampling of personal liberties, excesses committed and how the Emergency was a direct attack on our Constitutional ideals. Do read his blogs," Mr Modi said.
BJP chief Amit Shah said the Congress "murdered" democracy for its political interests.
