In a tweet, Hardeep Singh Puri said that more than 2.7 crores of people have been vaccinated in 4 days under emergency response in 2021. He also said that the emergency response of Congress in 1975 was to include sabotage of democracy, forced sterilization, curtailment of civil liberties, mass arrests, ban on media, and weakening of judiciary. At the same time, he asked whether there was freedom of speech at that time.

Home Minister Amit Shah tweeted that on this day in 1975, Congress killed the world's largest democracy by imposing an emergency on the country under the selfishness and arrogance of power. Innumerable Satyagrahis were imprisoned overnight in the jail dungeon and locked on the press. He took away the fundamental rights of the people of the country and made Parliament and the court a mute spectator. He also said that the emergency imposed to crush the voices raised against a family is a dark chapter in the history of independent India. Salutations to the sacrifices and sacrifices of all the countrymen who have consistently fought to protect the Constitution and democracy of the country, suffering the cruel tortures of ruthless rule for 21 months.
