Congress systematically destroyed democratic ethos, institutions & made deliberate attempt to end democratic rule in India. It was Shri Jaya Prakash Narayan & the entire RSS that resisted this attempt & saved our democracy. On June 25, let us remember those #DarkDaysOfEmergency & vow to uphold Constitutional values &... show more

10 years down the line when the ruling is no longer the ruling, people will realise how big of a mistake it was to give your party few terms. PS: not a supporter of emergency or Indira or Congress.

On this day in 1975, our democracy witnessed its darkest hour. We salute all those greats who fiercely and fearlessly resisted the #DarkDaysofEmergency Despite the excesses committed our democratic ethos successfully prevailed over an authoritarian mindset.

Democracy cannot survive when constitutional institutions are reduced to instruments of political convenience. The rejection of Congress Rajya Sabha candidate Meenakshi Natarajan ji's nomination from Madhya Pradesh raises serious questions about the fairness of our democratic institutions. When a Congress delegation approached the Election Commission to challenge this decision, officials refused to even meet them, forcing the delegation to stage a sit-in outside its office. The country is watching. Every such action raises serious questions about the independence of institutions and the health of our democracy. Democracy belongs to the people, not to those who seek to undermine it. PM Modi and the Election Commission want to silence every democratic voice that challenges the government. But our fight to protect the Constitution and democratic values will continue. 🇮🇳

As James Madison knew, democratic republics fail without an informed and involved citizenry. I hope you will join me and others in standing up for the rule of law to protect and ensure the democratic values that have made the US the greatest democracy in the world endure.

Democracy is never of a kind where the same party will ever come to power. We have seen in our lifetimes, the change takes place at state level, at panchayat level, at municipal level, that's a democratic process. But one thing is for sure, there has to be continuity of development, continuity of our civilisational ethos, and that comes only from one aspect. We must respect democratic culture. India is perhaps the only country in the world that has constitutionally structured democracy at all levels. Before 30 years, we had constitutional democracy only in the State legislature and Parliament. But now we have constitutional democracy at the village level, at panchayat level, and the district level. #RajyaSabha

#WATCH | Delhi: BJP MP Deepak Prakash says, "Those who today swear by the Constitution, carry the book of the Constitution and do politics in the name of the Constitution, the very same Congress people, the very same government was the one that murdered the Constitution in 1975. At that time, citizens were deprived of their rights, democratic institutions were murdered, and during that period, many political parties and people fought against the Emergency to save the Constitution. The Congress government imprisoned and tortured lakhs of people inside jails, therefore Congress should not talk about democracy or the Constitution... Whenever Congress comes to power, it murders democracy and eliminates constitutional institutions."

Day three of the Save Our Democracy protest sends an even stronger message: we are not backing down. At the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), alongside committed members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and patriotic Nigerians, our resolve has only deepened. What began as a call has now become a movement. We are witnessing a deliberate weakening of democratic institutions, an alarming push toward a one-party state, and a judiciary increasingly burdened by decisions that shake public confidence. Democracy cannot survive where opposition is stifled and institutions are compromised. Our presence remains peaceful, but our message is firm: INEC must uphold its independence. The judiciary must uphold justice. Nigeria must uphold democracy. We will continue to stand, not in defiance of the nation, but in defense of it. -DrMo

Indian democracy is actually a global public good. It's not just an Indian asset; it's a global asset. When I'm talking about the attack on the Indian democratic system, it's actually an attack not just on the Indian democratic system but also an attack on the global democratic system. Because if you were to remove India as a democracy, if you were to remove 1.5 billion people from the democratic side, that's a huge dent in global democracy. So that's why I say that it's very important for Indian people, especially, to ensure that they protect this really valuable resource. : LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi at the Hertie School, Berlin

One of the things that I have been talking about is the attack on the democratic foundations of India. We are a democratic country, but today our democratic system is under attack. Democracy gives India its voice. This is the idea that you, I and everyone should have a voice. But today our voice is under attack by those in power. They are attacking the Election Commission and our institutions. They are threatening the people who don't agree with their ideology. So we need young people like you, who are brave, confident and not scared of asking questions. : LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi 📍Tamil Nadu

Tomorrow, Panjab University will rise in peaceful protest against the Centre’s deliberate attempt to hijack our university, dismantle the Senate system and seize control of an institution that rightfully belongs to Punjab. This campus is not just brick & mortar ,it embodies Punjab’s academic pride, democratic values, and intellectual independence. The Constitution guarantees us the right to assemble, speak & protest peacefully. We shall exercise that right with dignity & determination. DGP Chandigarh Police must ensure that law enforcement respects these constitutional freedoms. It’s unfortunate that SHOs are being instructed not to allow even a sound system inside the campus,a direct violation of our constitutional right to peacefully assemble and express dissent. SHOs must act responsibly,not as agents of suppression but as protectors of democratic order. Panjab University belongs to us belongs to Punjab and we will not let anyone rewrite that truth. #SavePanjabUniversity

In the last press conference, it was asked what to do when the democratic structure is not working. What we are doing is making it absolutely clear to the people of India what has happened. We are informing the people that the Prime Minister and the Home Minister are not legitimately in government. Similarly, the CM of Haryana is not legitimately in government because it has been stolen. It's the same with the government of Maharashtra. India's Gen Z and the youth have the power to restore democracy with Satya and Ahimsa—by expressing their desire for a democratic India, by fighting for a democratic India and by resisting this wholesale theft and murder of the Constitution and democracy. : LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi 📍Delhi

All our bank accounts have been frozen. We cannot do our campaign work. We cannot support our workers and candidates. Our leaders cannot travel from one part of the country to the other. We're unable to put out our ads. This is being done two months before the election campaign. This is a criminal action against the Congress party, done by the PM and the Home Minister. It is being orchestrated to cripple us before the elections. There are institutions in the country that are supposed to protect the democratic framework. No court is saying anything, the Election Commission is silent, no other institution is saying anything, and the media is not saying anything. There is no democracy in India today. The people of India are being robbed of their Constitution and democratic structure. : Shri Rahul Gandhi #BJPFreezesIndianDemocracy

India is home to many religions, philosophies and schools of thought. Yet as a Republic, we chose one text to guide our nation above all others: the Constitution of India. On Constitution Day, we remind ourselves that its survival rests on our collective courage. The values in the Preamble, including justice, liberty, equality and fraternity, are increasingly sidelined by those in power. Institutions meant to protect our freedoms are weakened, dissent is discouraged, and constitutional morality is treated as an inconvenience. At a time when democratic norms are under strain and the balance of power tilts dangerously, we must remember that the Constitution does not defend itself. It lives only when we stand up for it, uphold its spirit, and hold every government accountable to its founding ideals.

Today at the Permanent Council, I reaffirmed that the situation of persons deprived of liberty for political reasons in Venezuela remains a human rights concern and a regional urgency. Repression and political persecution cannot be tolerated in our hemisphere. We reiterate our call for the unconditional release of all political prisoners and support greater transparency, accountability, and democratic guarantees for the Venezuelan people. The OAS stands ready to support dialogue, democratic institutions, and a peaceful, Venezuelan-led path toward stability, reconciliation, and prosperity. A stable and democratic Venezuela is essential not only for its citizens, but for the stability and well-being of the entire hemisphere. We call on all actors to engage constructively, uphold democratic principles, and work together toward a future grounded in human rights, representative democracy, and lasting peace.
