James Wilson"I was one of those few ones who stood up against Emergency, so in that sense, I was against Congress, I was against Indira Gandhi. But, because I was against it, I was not made to feel “anti-national” as today it is being immediately done.”

The Still Centre@jamewils that's correct. And it's because today, the amount of force required, to smother dissenting voices and keep up an authoratarian style of governance, is much larger than it was at that time. The label "anti-national" hits a lot harder than "anti-government".
