Asserting that the "dark days of Emergency" should not be forgotten, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday (June 25, 2025) lashed out at the Congress, stating that those who had "strangled the Constitution are today trying to become its protector."

He made a post on X on the occasion of 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas' (the day on which Constitution was murdered) to commemorate the imposition of the nearly two-year-long Emergency by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on June 25, 1975.
