DEMOCRACY OR EMERGENCY?
House Arrests, Cancelled Trains, Detaining Students and Dissents just to prevent them from Right to Protest is a clear dictatorship of BJP regime.
Indian Youth Should Fight this Fascist Regime from Murdering our Democracy
Democracy cannot survive when peaceful dissent is met with detention, intimidation and restrictions on the freedom of citizens to raise their voices. The reported house arrest of opposition leaders, detention of student leaders and arrests of activists associated with the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) raise serious concerns about the protection of democratic rights and civil liberties in India. When those who seek accountability are prevented from exercising their democratic freedoms, the foundations of our constitutional democracy are put to the test.
The right to protest, freedom of expression and the ability to organise collectively are essential pillars of a democratic country. No Indian Citizen should be treated as threats merely for questioning those in power or demanding accountability from public institutions. Reports of activists and students being detained while travelling to participate in peaceful demonstrations are particularly alarming.
Young Democrats expresses deep concern over the growing atmosphere of intimidation surrounding political dissent. We call upon the authorities to disclose the legal grounds for these actions, ensure that every detained person has access to legal remedies and release those held with unlawful justification. The police and administrative machinery must uphold the Constitution rather than create a climate in which citizens fear the consequences of exercising their fundamental rights.
