Great damage done to India's fabric under Modi government, people now recognising it: Sonia Gandhi

Great damage done to India's fabric under Modi government, people now recognising it: Sonia Gandhi

What's behind this

The organiser’s event titled “Invoking Ambedkar and the Constitution: Revisiting his views on Congress, national interest and foreign forces” highlighted that the Constitution of India grants citizens the right to express opinions, form associations, establish political parties and engage in lawful struggles. Speakers referenced Sonia Gandhi’s criticism that the Congress has been complacent, that a “laissez‑faire” attitude during the Emergency and unchecked actions by Sanjay Gandhi caused damage, and that “great damage” has been done to India’s democratic fabric over the past 12 years, with people now recognising it. A comment from a chief justice panelist noted that PM Modi “cannot be bigger than Gandhi, Nehru and Ambedkar.” No specific details of Ambedkar’s views are provided in the excerpts.
