You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

The War Measures Act [0] is a law that grants government powers in times of war or insurrection. There was, you guess it, an insurrection in the 70s [1] and the it was appropriately triggered.

Also the whole article describes an operation that even senior military commanders were unaware of — what possible connection could there be to the PM?

Pure dumb speculation.
