India's 'Undeclared Emergency': A Systematic Assault on Democracy
- On June 25, 2025, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh declared that Indian democracy has faced an undeclared emergency for over eleven years due to a systematic five-fold assault.
- Ramesh attributed this assault to attacks on the Constitution, weakening of Parliament, tax terrorism, media control, misuse of investigative agencies, and spread of hate speech under the BJP government.
- He further alleged minorities live in fear, Dalits are disproportionately targeted, protesting farmers and caste census advocates are vilified, MPs are suspended arbitrarily, and parliamentary norms are bypassed.
- Ramesh claimed that Rs 8,000 crore was illegally raised via Electoral Bonds, opponents are harassed by agencies like ED and CBI, media faces raids and intimidation, and constitutional bodies' autonomy has eroded.
- This undeclared emergency implies a deep democratic crisis with compromised electoral integrity, weakened institutions, and growing fear among civil society and businesses under continuous political pressure.
