New Delhi: Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi has as soon as once more made a scathing assault on the Narendra Modi-led NDA authorities on the Centre and accused it of systematically dismantling the three pillars of democracy. Writing a column for a outstanding English day by day, the UPA chairperson stated that the federal government was blaming previous leaders for right this moment`s ills and ignoring essentially the most urgent and very important problems with the day.
‘Centre’s Deep-Rooted Disdain For Democracy Is Disturbing’
Sonia Gandhi additional said that the federal government`s deep-rooted disdain for democracy and democratic accountability was disturbing. “The people of India have learnt that when it comes to understanding today`s situation, Prime Minister Narendra Moth`s actions speak far louder than his words. His statements – when he is not venting anger on the Opposition or blaming past leaders for today`s ills – either ignore the most pressing, vital issues of the day or are platitudes and verbal gymnastics to gloss over or distract from these issues. His actions, on the other hand, leave little to the imagination on the government`s true intentions,” Sonia said in her piece.
She additional claimed that he’s silent on official questions on his authorities`s actions affecting tens of millions` lives. “Enforcing silence cannot solve India`s problems. The Prime Minister is silent on legitimate questions about his government`s actions which affect the lives of millions. After failing on his promise to double the income of farmers by 2022, the Prime Minister has conveniently fallen silent. But their problems of rising costs and unremunerative prices for their crops remain here and now,” her column learn.
‘PM Modi Dismantling Pillars Of Democracy’
The former Congress president additionally accused PM Modi of dismantling all three pillars of democracy. Invoking the logjam within the Parliament, she stated it was a ploy to stop the Opposition from elevating problems with grave concern to the nation and its individuals. “Over the past months, we have witnessed the Prime Minister and his government systematically dismantling all three pillars of India`s democracy – the legislature, the executive and the judiciary, with their actions demonstrating a deep-rooted disdain for democracy and democratic accountability. Consider the first recent goings-on in Parliament. In the last session, we saw a government-led strategy to disrupt Parliament and prevent the Opposition from raising issues of grave concern to the country and its people, such as unemployment, inflation and social divisions, and discussing the year`s Budget and the Adani scam among other vital issues,” Sonia wrote.
“The systematic effort to undermine the credibility of the judiciary has reached crisis point, with the Union Law Minister calling some retired judges “anti-national”, and warning that “they win pay a worth”. This language is deliberately chosen to misguide people, inflame their passions, and thereby intimidate serving judges,” she added.
Sonia additional stated that Congress is set to proceed its combat to safeguard the voice of the individuals. “The Congress party will make every effort to take its message directly to the people, as it did in the Bharat Jodo Yatra, and will join hands with all like-minded parties to defend the Constitution of India and its ideals. Ours is a fight to safeguard the voice of the people. The Congress party understands its solemn duty as the principal Opposition party and stands ready to work with all like-minded parties to fulfil it,” her column learn.
