Dubbing the Emergency as a "black period" and an assault on democracy of the country, Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar on Monday said that his ministry would work to include some content on it in textbooks to make the new generation aware about it.

Speaking at a Delhi BJP function to felicitate partymen who were jailed during the Emergency announced on June 25, 1975, by the Indira Gandhi-led Congress regime, Javadekar said that Congress president Rahul Gandhi should seek "apology" before talking about freedom of press and judiciary in the country.
