Congress Slams 'Undeclared Emergency' Under Modi: A New Threat to Democracy?

The Congress party in Arunachal Pradesh openly criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration, labeling it as an 'undeclared Emergency'. This accusation came amidst the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) commemoration of historical events known as 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas'.

The president of the Arunachal Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC), Bosiram Siram, stated that the true demise of democracy is occurring under the current BJP-led central government. Siram condemned the BJP's decision to mark a five-decade-old event to mask its current failures.

Highlighting the period of the 1975 Emergency, marked by censorship and suppression, Siram contrasted it with today's alleged parliamentary disregard and democratic erosion under BJP rule. The Congress leader called on the public to reject such maneuvers and protect democratic values.
