On 25 June 1975, the government declared that there was a threat of internal disturbances and therefore, it invoked Article 352 of the Constitution. Under the provision of this article, the government could declare a state of emergency on grounds of external threat or a threat of internal disturbances. The government decided that a grave crisis had arisen which made the proclamation of a state of emergency necessary.

Find the odd one out in the context of the proclamation of National Emergency in 1975.

The findings of the Shah Commission Report

The correct answer is Option 4 - The findings of the Shah Commission Report

The first three options — the call for Total Revolution, the Railway Strike of 1974, and the Naxalite Movement — were major causes or contributing factors that created political and social unrest, leading to the proclamation of the National Emergency in 1975.

In contrast, the findings of the Shah Commission Report came later as a consequence, documenting and investigating the excesses during the Emergency period.
