On a day when the Congress organised nationwide protests against price rise, unemployment and imposition of goods and services tax (GST) on essential commodities, former party chief Rahul Gandhi on Friday said India was witnessing the ‘death of democracy’.
Anybody who raised people’s issues and stood up against the “onset of dictatorship is viciously attacked and put in jail”, he said.
The issue also forced adjournments in both Houses of Parliament as Congress members registered their strong protest.
