Live: Congress Leader Anand Sharma Addresses Press At Aicc Headquarters In New Delhi

In the vast landscape of political systems, one would hope that a democracy would shine as a beacon of hope and progress. However, in the largest democracy of the world, we find ourselves facing a rather disheartening reality. Our parliamentary democracy, which should serve as a platform for robust debate and accountability, has been undermined, pulverized, and paralyzed by design, not by default.

In a democracy, it is the duty of the government to ensure that Parliament functions as it should.

It is high time we start asking the tough questions and not be swayed by the propaganda machine of the government. We must raise our voices and demand answers.

A Flawed Decision and the Need for Correction

There have been discussions about a deeply flawed decision in law and constitution, specifically the conviction and disqualification of Rahul Gandhi. If the same yardstick were to be applied to other political leaders, our Parliament would be hollowed out. Many major leaders from various political parties would have been ousted from Parliament over the decades. This decision will serve as a litmus test for the Indian judiciary, and I have no doubt that what is wrong will be corrected. As someone well-versed in law and constitution, I believe this flawed decision will be
