A NEW LOW in Indian politics!
@SuvenduWB, while seated in a government office, has brazenly THREATENED me, publicly declaring that he will ensure I cannot even leave my home.
I call upon the Hon’ble President of India, the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India, and the people of India: Is this the India envisioned by our Constitution?
A sitting Chief Minister, sworn to uphold that very Constitution, openly threatens to curtail the freedom of the Chairperson of the principal opposition party, @AITCofficial.
The words were unambiguous: “I will ensure you cannot leave the house.”
What exactly does that mean? House arrest? Intimidation? Political persecution? Who gave you the authority to decide who gets to move freely in a constitutional democracy?
Perhaps he is confusing me with those known to bow before authoritarianism. That, I must say, is a grave misreading.
This is bigger than Mamata Banerjee. This is about the kind of India @BJP4India wants to create - where political opponents are threatened, dissent is punished, and constitutional rights become privileges granted by those in power.
INDIA IS WITNESSING A DANGEROUS AUTHORITARIAN MOMENT.
And history offers one enduring lesson: power may intimidate for a while, but arrogance eventually answers to the people.
Their arrogance is loud.
Their desperation is louder.
Their days are numbered.
