NEW DELHI: Hitting back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his remark on the Emergency , the Congress today said he should remember the country is facing an "undeclared Emergency" under the BJP rule.It, however, acknowledged that the Emergency, imposed on this day in 1975, "was a mistake" and said lessons have been learned. "The prime minister talks of remembering the Emergency. Yes, we remember the Emergency. But we also ask him to remember we are facing an undeclared Emergency," All India Congress Committee (AICC) spokesperson Tom Vadakkan alleged.History may repeat itself if the prime minister failed to learn from the past, he warned. The country is witnessing just that," he said.The Congress leader referred to the CBI raids at the residence of NDTV founder Prannoy Roy to drive his point home that there is an "undeclared Emergency" under the BJP rule, with the media being muzzled.
