The Bharatiya Janata Party has issued a response regarding claims made in Sonia Gandhi's recent memoir concerning the 1975 Emergency. In her book, Sonia Gandhi suggested that former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi harbored regrets over the Emergency and shifted the blame onto the actions of Sanjay Gandhi.

Addressing these assertions, the BJP highlighted that Sanjay Gandhi is deceased and therefore unable to respond to or contest these claims. During a media briefing, BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi also pointed out historical statements made by Rajiv Gandhi, noting that he had publicly defended the Emergency as a correct decision during an interview in 1985.
