Actress and politician Kangana Ranaut marked Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas by paying tribute to the Emergency period in India’s history. She emphasized the significance of upholding constitutional values and remembering the challenges faced during that controversial political era. Ranaut, known for her film ‘Queen,’ shared a behind-the-scenes video from her movie ‘Emergency’ on Instagram, calling the Emergency a direct assault on democracy.
Anupam Kher, part of the film, praised Kangana’s directorial skills, highlighting her attention to detail and ability to work effectively with actors. Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas is observed on June 25 to commemorate the undermining of the Indian Constitution on the same date in 1975. It serves as a reminder of the hardships endured during the Emergency period and honors those affected by the events.
On June 25, 1975, President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed declared a National Emergency, citing internal disturbances under Article 352 of the Constitution. The movie “Emergency,” featuring Kangana Ranaut as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, was released in cinemas on January 17, 2025.
