Emergency: When Prakash Karat went underground, took refuge in AIIMS

CPI(M) leader Prakash Karat recalls his experiences during the 1975 Emergency, including going underground and seeking refuge at AIIMS. He contrasts Indira Gandhi's "knee-jerk reaction" with the current "institutionalised" authoritarianism, highlighting the broader threat to democracy. Karat emphasizes that the present danger is more comprehensive, driving opposition parties to unite in defense of the constitutional system.
