TIL Desk/National/Wayanad/ A day after an FIR was filed against nearly 50 celebrities who wrote an open letter to the prime minister on incidents of mob lynching, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi lashed out at the BJP government, saying anybody who says anything against Narendra Modi or the government is put behind bars.
Gandhi said the country was moving towards an authoritarian state and it was not a secret anymore.”Everybody knows what is going on in the country. It’s not a secret. In fact the whole world knows it. We are moving into an authoritarian state. It’s pretty clear,” the Wayanad MP, who is in his constituency to express solidarity with the protests against the night traffic ban on the highway passing through the Bandipur Tiger Reserve, told.
“Anybody
who says anything against the prime minister, anybody who raises anything
against the government is put in jail and is attacked. Media is crushed.
Everybody knows what’s going on. This is not a secret,” he added.
