संजय गांधी यांचे आदेश पाळण्याऐवजी तत्कालीन माहिती आणि नभोवाणी मंत्री ______ यांनी तात्काळ पदाचा राजीनामा दिला होता.

The correct answer is Option B (Inder K. Gujaral).

Key Points:
• The Emergency (1975) and Press Censorship:
• When the National Emergency was proclaimed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on the night of 25 June 1975, Inder Kumar Gujral (I.K. Gujral) was the Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting.
• Sanjay Gandhi attempted to dictate media coverage and ordered Gujral to vet All India Radio (AIR) news scripts and implement heavy censorship against opposition leaders.
• I.K. Gujral refused to take unconstitutional directives from Sanjay Gandhi, who held no formal governmental office, asserting that his accountability was to the Prime Minister and the Cabinet.
• Consequently, Gujral was immediately removed/resigned from the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting and replaced by Vidya Charan Shukla (V.C. Shukla), who enforced rigorous media censorship.
• I.K. Gujral later served as the 12th Prime Minister of India (1997–1998).
• Key Takeaway: I.K. Gujral resigned/was removed as Minister of Information & Broadcasting in 1975 after defying Sanjay Gandhi's censorship orders.
