New Delhi, January 02: Senior BJP leader L K Advani today compared days of the Emergency in the country to the infamous Nazi rule in Germany under Adolf Hitler during which lakhs of jews were killed.
Advani headlined his latest blog posting, “Emergency of 1975 akin to Nazi rule”.
Though he has not explained on his blog why he chose to use the term, he quotes Justice H R Khanna, the only dissenting Supreme Court judge, who had used it in the case where the Government of India had appealed against a high court judgement in favour of those detained during the Emergency under MISA (Maintenance of Internal Security Act).
