Congress president and Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday (October 11) accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah of imposing an “undeclared Emergency” to suppress protests against alleged electoral manipulation. He alleged that restrictions on transport services and internet access, seizure of mobile phones and detention of young protesters were aimed at silencing the Opposition.

Speaking to media representatives at Kalaburagi Airport, Mr. Kharge compared the situation with the Emergency of 1975–77, during which he was a Minister.

“Trains were not disrupted, flights were not disrupted, and educational institutions functioned smoothly during the Emergency. But today, there is no declared Emergency; this is an undeclared Emergency,” he said.
