MAY 16: Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi termed the detention of Gujarat Samachar co-founder Bahubali Shah as a conspiracy to throttle the voice of democracy.
LoP Rahul Gandhi lashed out at the central leadership for the detention of Gujarat Samachar co-founder Bahubali Shah and severely reprimanded the Government.
Congress stalwart categorically said that the country would neither be governed by sticks nor fear, but by truth and constitution.
Taking to social networking site X, Rahul Gandhi said, “The attempt to silence Gujarat Samachar is another conspiracy to suppress the voice of not just one newspaper but the entire democracy.”
Rahul Gandhi added, “When newspapers that hold power accountable are locked, then understand that democracy is in danger. The arrest of Bahubali Shah is a part of the same politics of fear that has now become the identity of the Modi government. The country will not be run by sticks or fear – India will be run by truth and the Constitution.”
