Indian Democracy Under ‘brutal Attack: Rahul Gandhi

Indian Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has again stoked a massive controversy alleging that the structures of Indian democracy are under “brutal attack”. The Wayanad MP who was speaking in London was also seen backing British broadcaster BBC against the tax surveys conducted against its offices in Mumbai and Delhi. He alleged that the action against the BBC in India was an example of the “suppression of voice across the country”.

Speaking to reporters at the India Insights event organised by the Indian Journalists’ Association (IJA) in London, Rahul Gandhi said, “The reason the (Bharat Jodo) yatra became necessary is because the structures of our democracy are under brutal attack… The media, the institutional frameworks, judiciary, Parliament is all under attack and we were finding it very difficult to put the voice of the people through the normal channels,” PTI reported.
