During the dark days of the internal emergency thrust upon the country in 1975 by the then Prime Minister Smt.Indira Gandhi, several political party leaders opposed to her were arrested , jailed and subjected to brutal physical assault by the police. In the erstwhile P&T Department, certain bureaucrats in connivance with the pro-government union took the opportunity to victimise several leaders and active workers of NFPTE on flimsy grounds. Kerala had several such instances wherein some of the comrades were jailed during the entire period of emergency, some were detained in police custody, more were transferred to far off places, some charge sheeted and increments cut etc.
