Everyone know the +ve side of Indira ji but there are lots of -ve points to be furnished here while describing her. Indira Gandhi was the first ever women Prime Minister of India. Still no women prime minister was elected in india after indira gandhi. She worked as a prime minister for 15 years. Though she did a good administration, she is well known for some critics. Four important critics of Indira Gandhi[IG] is as follows: 1. corruption charges[1971]: Many people are unaware of a corruption charge against Indira Gandhi in Allahabad High Court on ground of electorial malpractis. Allahabad High Court suspended her to be a member of parliment. But later the verdict of Allahabad court was suspended by Supreme Court. 2. Emergency[1975]: The most siginificant reason behind the emergency announced by Indira Gandhi was JP movement. It was called so because it was conducted by Jayaprakash Narayan against IG. Jayaprakash Narayan never contested election in his life term before the verdict of Allahabad High cour 1971. In fact on june 25 1975 [the day in which emergency was issued] JP had announced a daily demonstration not only in Delhi but also in every state untill Indira Gandhi would resign. He also appealed Army to refuse IG[indira gandhi] and abide constitution. Moraji Desai an associate of JP in an interview to itallian newspaper said, "we intend to overthrow her". Morajii desai was the deputy prime minister of our country during IG period. Officials emergency was issued as a result of overall systematic failure. As a result of emergency press and fundamental rights were suspended. The emergency lasted for 19month. It was ended on january 23 1977. Soon after the withdrawal of the emergency, general elections were declared in the country. The Congress was reduced to just 153 seats in the Lok Sabha and the Janata Party led by Morarji Desai came to power. It was the first time a non-Congress government that assumed leadership of the country. 3. Currency Crisis: During 1980s, Indira's administration failed to arrest the 40 percent fall in the value of the Indian Rupee from 7 to 12 to the US Dollar. 4. Operation Blue Star: Indira Gandhi has faced a serious problem at the end of her life term in punjab. In June 1984, Jamail Singh separatist group were camping and amassing weapons within the walls of the Golden temple, Sikhism's holiest shrine. Despite the presence of thousands of civilians in the Golden Temple complex at the time the army opened fire resulting in large casualties.Indira Gandhi's order to approve Operation Blue Star was highly condemned by international media |
