History

Historical Context

In June 1975 Indira Gandhi invoked Articles 352 and 356 to declare a national Emergency, suspending civil liberties and detaining opposition leaders such as Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Jayaprakash Narayan. The period recorded 34,988 arrests under MISA, exposing weak protection for officials. The robbery of BJP Backward Classes Morcha secretary Ramesh Yadav at his Kanpur farmhouse today mirrors those historic security gaps.
