On Saturday Congress President Sonia Gandhi launched another attack on the government, this time accusing it of standing against Democratic system, Constitutional Values and established conventions. She has now asked people to think whether they have the right to write,speak and ask questions and put forward their views.
Earlier in the day she had slammed PM Modi for not addressing the name of China while he was addressing the nation during his Independence speech. Sonia Gandhi had skipped Independence Day Celebrations at the AICC headquarters. In her absence senior CWC member A K Anthony hosted the tricolour flag on behalf of her in the presence of her Son Rahul Gandhi and other party leaders.
In her statement Sonia said "It seems the government is standing against democratic system constitutional values and established conventions."
"Is there freedom today to write, speak, ask questions, dissent, express views,seek accountability? As a responsible opposition, it is our duty to make every effort and struggle to keep our democratic freedom intact."
Congress Lok Sabha MP Manish Tiwari tweeted "China has occupied our territory. The Prime Minister does not have the courage to name China. What kind of a Leader he is? On Independence Day People must rise to protect our Independence."
