Opposition’s massive rally in Indian capital demands protection of democracy
A coalition of 40 Indian opposition political parties held a rally in the capital New Delhi on Sunday to protest attacks on democracy.
The demonstration by the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance brought in thousands of participants, with top leaders denouncing what they say is the erosion of democratic values in India.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was compared to an autocrat, with attendees emphasizing the need to safeguard democracy beyond partisan interests.
The rally comes amid a crackdown by Modi’s government on opposition parties and dissidents, with recent revelations of electoral bond corruption and tax notices.
Participants and leaders at the rally spoke about how a coalition government, and not one-party rule, will strengthen India and its democracy.
