Jaipur, June 27 -- Former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday launched a scathing attack on BJP, accusing the ruling party at the Centre of undermining the Constitution and democracy in the country. He described the current situation in the country as an "undeclared emergency". The Congress leader said that over the past 11 years under the BJP rule, the Indian democracy "declined the most". He said in a post on X, "It is ironic that BJP governments are observing 'Constitution Murder Day'. It is like a dishonest person giving lectures on honesty." Gehlot alleged that civil liberties, freedom of the press and opposition voices are being stifled in the country. "If democracy has declined the most in this country, it has happened in the last 11 years," he said. "The current situation in India can be described in just two words - 'undeclared emergency'. The Constitution may not have been suspended nor has the President made any formal declaration, but people's rights, freedom of expression, and the voice of the opposition are being continuously suppressed," he said. Citing cases against journalists like Siddique Kappan and raids on media houses, including NDTV, Dainik Bhaskar, BBC and NewsClick, the Congress leader said, "If this is not strangulation of press freedom, then what is?" "Today, if a journalist asks questions, they are branded anti-national. If a student protests, they are called a terrorist. If an Opposition leader criticizes the government, they become a target of the Enforcement Directorate (ED). Is this the BJP government's new model of democracy? This, in fact, is the true murder of democracy." He also compared the present situation with the Emergency period (1975 to 1977), claiming that even then, no chief ministers were jailed or parliament memberships cancelled. "But under BJP rule, the CMs of Jharkhand and Delhi have been jailed. Rahul Gandhi's parliamentary membership was cancelled," he said. He said that over 200 opposition leaders faced ED actions, yet many of them were let off as soon as they joined the BJP....
