Democracy is dead in India, The Economist
New Delhi … News Time
The duplicitous policies of the Modi government and the agenda of imposing the extremist party on the institutions have disgraced India all over the world. According to the details, the international magazine The Economist, while exposing the artificial face of India, wrote that democracy has died in India. The American magazine has said in its report that democracy is dying in India and Narendra Modi is busy making India a one-party state. The Economist reports that Indian government ministers have recently granted bail to Arnab Goswami, a controversial Indian journalist. The Economist wrote that the Arnab Goswami case did not represent freedom of expression. There are more than 60,000 cases pending in India, but the ruling party’s character courts are only backing the government’s favorites.
According to the report, Narendra Modi resorted to the army even before the elections and propagandized the conflict with China in Ladakh. Modi made the neutrality of the Election Commission of India controversial and targeted the dutiful officers of the Election Commission and their families. According to the magazine, under Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, aggressive laws were also enacted on freedom of expression. The Economist reports that in August last year, Modi imposed a cruel and aggressive direct rule on Kashmir and detained thousands of innocent Kashmiris. The hearing of which has been forgotten by the Indian courts. In 2017, Modi reduced the powers of the Rajya Sabha to pass India’s controversial law allowing political parties to receive unlimited donations. Besides, the high judiciary is still ignoring Kashmir. The hearing of more than 140 petitions against the controversial CAA 2019 has been repeatedly adjourned while the courts are only hearing the case of people of their choice. India’s secular and democratic identity is constantly being damaged by Narendra Modi and his ministers.
