<h1>Prime Minister commemorates 50th anniversary of Emergency period criticizing constitutional violations and mass arrests</h1> A Prime Minister delivered remarks during a monthly radio broadcast commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Emergency period (1975-1977), playing audio clips from former political leaders who opposed the measures. The PM criticized the then-government for constitutional violations, judicial interference, mass arrests of over 100,000 people, press censorship, and suppression of freedoms during the 21-month period. The broadcast highlighted testimonies from former prime ministers and deputy prime ministers describing the era as unprecedented oppression. The PM emphasized remembering those who resisted the Emergency to maintain constitutional vigilance, noting that public participation ultimately led to the government's electoral defeat in 1977.
