The Delhi High Court has dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) challenging the Centre's decision to observe June 25 as 'Samvidhan Hatya Diwas,' a day marking the imposition of Emergency by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1975. The court found no violation or disrespect of the Constitution in the government's notification.

He explained that the meeting with Sonia Gandhi was prompted by the conclusion of the Lok Sabha elections and his release from jail.

On June 25, the Indian government will observe what it now calls 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas,' translating to 'Constitution Killing Day,' marking a significant shift in how the Emergency period of 1975 is remembered. Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced this decision, emphasising a renewed focus on the controversial period in Indian history when the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi declared a state of emergency.
