'Didn't get parole to perform mother's last rites during Emergency': Rajnath slams opposition for calling BJP dictatorial

Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday slammed Congress for accusing the BJP-led government of 'undeclared Emergency' and recalled his time in jail during the 1975 Emergency imposed by the Indira Gandhi-government, stating that he served an eighteen-month jail sentence without being granted parole to even visit his ailing mother or attend her last rites.
