On the anniversary of the 1975 Emergency, BJP leaders on Sunday went on a tweeting spree to turn the tables on the Congress which has been accusing the Narendra Modi government of suppressing dissent, stifling democracy, and curbing freedom of speech.

On June 25, 1975, the Indira Gandhi-led Congress government imposed Emergency, which lasted for next 21 months, during which fundamental rights of people were provisionally suspended and curbs were put on the press.
