Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday appealed to the judiciary to ‘save’ the multi-party system in the country in a bid to ‘protect India’s democracy’.
The Congress chief came down heavily on the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led central government after the alleged freezing of the grand old party’s bank accounts by the Income Tax department.
Power drunk Modi Govt has frozen the accounts of the country’s largest Opposition party – the Indian National Congress – just before the Lok Sabha elections,” Kharge said in a post on X.
“This is a deep assault on India’s Democracy! The UNCONSTITUTIONAL money collected by the BJP would be utilised by them for elections, but the money collected by us through CROWDFUNDING shall be sealed!” he added.
The Congress chief asserted that the party will take on the streets against the government’s ‘autocracy’.
“That is why, I have said that there won’t be any elections in the future. We appeal to the Judiciary to save the multi-party system in this country and protect India’s Democracy,” the Congress chief said.
“We will take to the streets and fight strongly against this autocracy !” he added.
“Don’t be afraid Modi ji, Congress is not the name of power of money but of power of people. We have never bowed down before dictatorship, nor will we ever bow down. Every Congress worker will fight tooth and nail to protect India’s democracy” Rahul Gandhi said in a post on X.
