According to Article 352 of the Constitution of India, the President can proclaim a National Emergency if the security of India or any part of it is threatened by War, External Aggression, or Armed Rebellion. The term “internal disturbance” was initially a ground for proclaiming National Emergency, but it was replaced by “armed rebellion” by the 44th Amendment Act, 1978, after the misuse of the emergency provision in 1975 under the ground of “internal disturbance”.
