Did dev anand challenge Indira Gandhi?

Film expert vishnu Sharma told, during the emergency, Sanjay gandhi had invited dev anand to the youth Congress rally to say something good about the party. But he refused to praise the Congress. After this, Dev Anand's films and songs were banned.
"Dev anand was very angry before the emergency, he became more angry due to the ban on films. The result of this was that dev anand announced to contest elections against indira gandhi and formed his own political party 'National Party of India'. Initially, many actors and actresses joined Dev Anand. But later they felt that this was foolishness. They did not see any future in the party. After some time, dev anand also left politics and the party also ended. After this, he made a film named 'Mr. Prime Mister'."
