NEW DELHI: Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Friday said that there is a dictatorship of four people in India today.
“We’re witnessing the death of democracy. What India has built brick by brick, starting almost a century ago, is being destroyed in front of your eyes. Anybody who stands against this idea of onset of dictatorship is viciously attacked, jailed, arrested & beaten up,” Rahul Gandhi said while addressing the media in the national capital today.
Meanwhile, the Congress party is staging a massive nationwide protest today on issues of price rise and unemployment.
Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha MPs will hold a “Chalo Rashtrapati Bhavan” from Parliament, the party said in a statement.
The protesters, which include members of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) – the highest decision-making body of the party are expected to participate in “PM House gherao” later in the day. The party’s state units will hold similar protests across the country.
