Fake Voter List a Blow to Democracy; Centre Agitated as Truth Emerges: Mukesh Agnihotri
Shimla, August 11 –
Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri has accused the Central Government of seriously undermining democratic traditions. He stated that a peaceful march led by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, former President Rahul Gandhi, General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and other Congress leaders, in protest against discrepancies in the voter list and electoral irregularities, was stopped by the police and the leaders were detained along with their colleagues. He termed it a “black day for democracy.”
Agnihotri said Rahul Gandhi had brought to light several flaws, including irregularities in the voter list and incorrect entries of individuals’ names. Peaceful protest against such issues, he stressed, is a democratic right. However, the Central Government is attempting to suppress the voice of the opposition. “Silencing the people’s voice in this manner is not only undemocratic but also shows that the government is afraid of the truth. No power can stop the fight for truth, nor can India’s voice be silenced,” he asserted.
He added that the Congress and the INDIA alliance will continue their struggle at every level to safeguard democracy and keep the public informed of these realities. The fake voter list, abuse of power, and suppression of opposition voices, he said, are clear evidence that the Central Government is running away from transparency.
