For those unaware, former Indian PM Indira Gandhi declared a state of emergency across the country in 1975, citing internal and external threats. The emergency ended after almost 21 months on March 21, 1977. During this time, several political opponents of Indira Gandhi were imprisoned and the press was censored.
Kangana, who isn't just a reel politician anymore,won the Lok Sabha seat from Mandi consistency on a Bharatiya Janata Party ticket. After taking the oath on Monday, she challenged the Opposition INDIA bloc, stating, "Let's see what they bring to the table. Finally, we have a good Opposition. As PM Modi said, the entire nation hopes that the Opposition will be more responsible."
