Emergency period should be included in textbooks: Vice Prez
Vice President Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday said lessons on the Emergency period should be included in textbooks across India, adding that the present generations should know why and how it was imposed. Former PM Indira Gandhi, with the assent of the-then President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, imposed the 21-month Emergency on June 25, 1975, citing internal and external threats to India.
