Democracy Won't Be Strengthened by Abusing Institutions: Rijiju on Congress Protest

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and the party over the INDIA bloc's protest against the Election Commission. Rijiju called the demonstration "drama" and questioned how long it would continue, asserting that democracy would not be strengthened by "abusing democratic institutions."

The opposition's march was organized to raise concerns regarding electoral rolls and election-related issues with the Election Commission. Rijiju accused Rahul Gandhi of spreading what he described as an "anti-India narrative" through the protest and the party's actions.

The remarks from the Union Minister came as the INDIA bloc pressed ahead with its demonstration against the Election Commission, highlighting its concerns over electoral matters and the functioning of the electoral roll system.
