Indian opposition lawmakers rally against Modi government

Associated Press  

NEW DELHI — More than 100 Indian opposition lawmakers, including members of the Congress party, staged a protest march Thursday after the end of a parliamentary budget session that was marred by shouting and disruptions to proceedings amid a standoff with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government. The demonstrators carried big national flags and chanted slogans warning that India’s democracy is in danger, and accused Modi’s administration of “misusing” government-run investigation agencies to intimidate opposition leaders. Meanwhile, Modi said his party would be voted to victory for a third straight five-year term “in next year’s national elections given its popularity among people.” He told his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party workers celebrating the party’s foundation day that Indian people backed the BJP for bringing in a new political culture, while opposition parties were mostly run by political families. Gandhi said last month he was being targeted because he has raised serious questions about Modi’s relationship with Gautam Adani, who heads the Adani Group.
