Undeclared Emergency@11: Congress Critiques Modi Government's Democratic Record

In a sharp rebuke to the Modi administration, the Congress has alleged Indian democracy is facing a systematic 'five-fold assault' over the last eleven years, described as 'Undeclared Emergency@11'.

The Congress claims this period under Modi has seen rising hate speech and a clampdown on civil liberties. Opposition voices, particularly government critics, have allegedly been vilified in an atmosphere of growing hate and bigotry fueled by the ruling government. Farmers protesting have been labeled 'Khalistanis', while supporters of caste census and marginalized communities, such as Dalits, face significant challenges.

This critique coincides with India marking 'Samvidhan Hatya Diwas', commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1975 Emergency. Ramesh alleged governmental attacks on the Constitution, tax intimidation, media control, and misuse of investigative agencies are hallmarks of this 'undeclared emergency'.
