New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Manish Tewari on Sunday said India was "not a democracy anymore" as the representative institutions of the will of the people were "all but redundant." He said the country had instead become a "two-horse system" comprising "an arbitrary executive and a judiciary that appoints its own judges notwithstanding the Memorandum of Procedure."
In a scathing assessment of the current state of Indian democracy, Tewari called for a "fundamental redesign" of the constitutional structure, arguing that legislative bodies are no longer performing their intended functions.
