Regime Lacks Courage to Declare Emergency: Aaditya Thackeray on Delhi Crackdown

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray has attacked the BJP-led government over its response to protests in Delhi, alleging that authorities are employing emergency-like measures without formally declaring one.

Thackeray accused the regime of lacking the courage to officially announce an emergency while simultaneously resorting to what he described as authoritarian crackdowns on dissent. His remarks target the government's protest management strategy in the national capital.

The opposition leader's statement reflects broader criticism from various quarters regarding the handling of demonstrations and the space afforded to public expression and assembly.
