Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and MP Sanjay Raut on Saturday defended the Emergency imposed by the Congress party in 1975, asserting that if Atal Bihari Vajpayee had been the Prime Minister in a similar situation, he would have also imposed the Emergency. He added that Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) openly supported the Emergency.
