What were Mrs Gandhis immediate actions soon after Emergency was declared?
Most opposition leaders including Narayan were arrested and put in jail. Mrs Gandhi’s argument was that they were creating internal security problems for India. She then recklessly amended the Constitution to suit her purpose soon after Emergency was declared. She amended the Representation of Peoples Act and two other laws with retrospective effect to ensure that the Supreme Court is left with no option but to overturn the verdict of the Allahabad high court. The prime minister also took away from the apex court the authority to adjudicate election disputes relating to the president, the vice-president, the prime minister and the Lok Sabha speaker and transferred it to a body to be appointed by Parliament.
