Mother Teresa was another supporter of Emergency. She was of the view that people were happier under the Emergency because there were more jobs and less strikes. It was no coincidence that her close lieutenant, Navin Chawla, was at the forefront of unleashing brutality during the Emergency years. His role in running prison torture cells was documented by the Shah Commisison (all copies of which were burned down by Indira Gandhi’s cronies in ‘babudom’). Chawla was suitably rewarded by the dynasty later for his Emergency era services – he was elevated as chief election commissioner. He also went on to write a hagiography of Mother Teresa.
