The government Wednesday said records pertaining to the imposition of emergency in India in 1975 have gone missing from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) and could not be found after a "thorough search".
V. Narayanasamy, minister of state in the PMO, in a written reply to the Lok Sabha said "yes" to the question "whether the official record regarding the imposition of emergency in the year 1975 is not available in the PMO".
He said the PMO also could not trace the correspondence between then prime minister Indira Gandhi and president Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed on the issue.
