PM Modi disguised as a Sikh during Emergency to avoid arrest
PM Narendra Modi, then a 25-year-old RSS 'pracharak', disguised himself as a Sikh to avoid getting arrested during the Emergency, imposed by then PM Indira Gandhi on June 25, 1975. RSS was among groups which were banned during that period. Modi reportedly carried banned literature to Delhi and posed as a sanyasi, escorting leaders like George Fernandes to safe locations.
