Sonia Gandhi's Claims on India's Emergency Raise Questions and Ironic Timing

In Ranchi, Pratul Shah Dev said that almost 51 years have passed since the Emergency was imposed. Now Sonia Gandhi has spoken on the issue. According to Sonia Gandhi, the Emergency was the result of Sanjay Gandhi's insistence and it was the result of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's thinking. She also claimed that Rajiv Gandhi was actually against the Emergency. The BJP spokesperson questioned these claims of Sonia Gandhi. She says that such clarifications now raise many questions about historically and politically significant developments like the Emergency. Advertisementist Shah Dev said that Sonia Gandhi is trying to give a special signal by saying that Rajiv Gandhi opposed the Emergency. She also mentioned the role and opinion of private individuals. According to him, there were some people who were neither in public life nor part of the government at that time, but their role or opinion is being discussed. The BJP spokesperson called it ironic that Sonia Gandhi is now trying to make a statement about the Emergency to "facilitate politics" by calling one guilty brother and the other "innocent."
