Congress party stands firmly with Uday Bhanu : Vinay Kumar
State Congress President Vinay Kumar has said that the arrest of All India Youth Congress National President Uday Bhanu Chib is not just the arrest of an individual, but a direct and deliberate attack on democratic values by the Narendra Modi government.
He described this action as shameful, undemocratic and a living example of dictatorial tendencies and condemned it in the strongest terms.
Vinay Kumar said that arresting a young leader just because he expressed his views peacefully proves that Modi ji’s government is now afraid of youth power, truth-tellers and those who question the government.
The country is clearly seeing how weak and insecure a government is when it fears the voice of youth. He said that in the environment created by the Modi government, every dissent is being criminalized and every protest is being branded a sin like treason. This is a dangerous step that undermines the very roots of democracy.
Youth are the energy of this country—attempting to silence them is a sign of authoritarian mentality, arrogance and fearful leadership.
Vinay Kumar said that in a democracy, it is the right of every citizen to protest peacefully, but the Modi government is busy suppressing this right because it fears that the youth will speak the truth, ask questions and expose its failures.
He said that history is witness that whenever the voice of youth, public and opposition has been suppressed, the downfall of power has happened at the same speed.
No government can survive by crushing the opposition, intimidating the media, and arresting the youth.
Vinay Kumar said that the Modi government should remember that this country is run by the Constitution and not by the ego, fear or whims of any one person.
The time has come for the Central Government to abandon the politics of repression, fear and punishment and learn to respect dialogue, accountability and democratic values.
Vinay Kumar stated clearly that the Congress party stands firmly with Uday Bhanu Chib. It is fully prepared to fight at every level to protect democratic rights, the voice of the youth, and the Constitution.
