NEW DELHI: Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah today justified the imposition of emergency in the country in 1976 saying it infused accountability among the masses.
During the emergency period, people were bound to be accountable. There was fear in everybody, including employees, which made them work properly, Farooq said at a function organised for the release of a book Nearer The Truth. Farooq said in politics some elements tended to created differences between politicians for small gains and a wedge was driven between
Indira Gandhi and himself .A lot of misunderstanding was created between Indiraji and myself during her last phase of life.But I always treated her as my mother although there might have been political differences, the National
Conference President said. He said people are taking Freedom for granted, but preserving it is difficult. It calls for responsibility, he said.
