Democracy at Stake: Thackeray Criticizes NDA's Actions Against Opposition

Uddhav Thackeray, leader of Shiv Sena (UBT), launched a scathing attack on the BJP-led central government, criticizing the detention of opposition MPs who participated in a march protesting against the Election Commission in New Delhi.

During a press briefing in Mumbai, Thackeray accused the NDA administration of undermining democratic values by arresting politicians voicing concerns about alleged electoral discrepancies, especially pertaining to the 'vote theft' issue in Bihar.

The opposition's protest, backed by senior leaders including Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, showcased high drama as police halted their march midway, sparking allegations of governmental overreach and igniting a wave of criticism.
