New Delhi, June 10: Former Supreme Court judge Markandey Katju in his latest tweet has indicated there is every possibility that Emergency could happen again in India.
In a series of tweets, he termed that the upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha elections are like war and truth becomes the first casualty during war.
The coming Lok Sabha election is going to be a war, and in war truth is the first casualty. Did not dharmaraj Yudhishthir, who normally never lied, say in the Mahabharat ' naro vs kunjaro va ' ?

The way things r developing in India, I would not be surprised if internal Emergency is imposed in India, as it happened in 1975

This is not the first time that there are talks that emergency can be imposed, even Senior BJP leader LK Advani had said that Emergency-like situation could emerge again and forces that can crush democracy are stronger now.
“I do not say that the political leadership is not mature. But I don’t have the confidence that it (Emergency) cannot happen again,”Advani said
