India’s Congress Party Accuses Modi Government of ‘Undeclared Emergency’

The Indian National Congress has leveled serious accusations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government, claiming a five-pronged attack on the nation’s democratic foundations amounts to an “undeclared emergency.”

In a scathing critique, the Congress party detailed five key areas where they allege the government is undermining democratic principles:

• Erosion of the Constitution: The party alleges a systematic weakening of the Constitution’s core tenets.
• Tax Terrorism: Congress claims the government is employing aggressive and unfair tax practices to target political opponents and stifle dissent.
• Media Control: The party points to alleged efforts to control and manipulate the media narrative.
• Misuse of Investigative Agencies: Congress accuses the government of using investigative agencies for political persecution rather than impartial justice.
• Suppression of Civil Liberties: The party claims the government is actively suppressing fundamental civil liberties and freedom of expression.

This strong condemnation marks a significant escalation in the political tension between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the opposition Congress party. The accusations raise serious concerns about the state of Indian democracy and are sure to fuel further debate and scrutiny of the Modi government’s policies and actions.
