US EditionIndia's 'Undeclared Emergency': A Systematic Assault on Democracy
- On June 25, 2025, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh alleged that India has faced an 'Undeclared Emergency' under BJP governance for over eleven years.
- Ramesh based this claim on a systematic five-fold assault involving attacks on the Constitution, tax terrorism, media control, misuse of investigative agencies, and hate speech.
- He detailed related issues including sidelining parliamentary committees, compromised Election Commission integrity, arbitrary suspension of MPs, and silencing around 20,000 civil society voices.
- Ramesh alleged that the BJP illegally raised Rs 8,000 crore through Electoral Bonds and condemned the government for glorifying those responsible for Mahatma Gandhi's assassination, while highlighting systemic discrimination against minorities and Dalits.
- These accusations emerged as India marked five decades since the Emergency imposed in 1975, with Congress charging the BJP with eroding democratic norms and disrupting federal relationships.
