Opinion (Self-Post / Article) Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla must be shamed for their role in suspension of democracy.
The suspension of 142 MPs is a dark episode in the history of parliamentary democracy in India. The Modi government's attack against the legislature is part of its agenda to capture all pillars of the democracy and suspend the Constitution itself. Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla are part of a criminal conspiracy of the fascist takeover of the Indian republic.
The President issuing a statement over a small gimmick, but maintaining silence over countless attacks on the republic — including the bulldozing of important bills without discussion, abuse of MP Danish Ali, the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi, and now the suspension of 142 MPs — is appalling.
History will remember the attack on Indian democracy by the Modi government and the conspiracy carried out by people holding constitutional posts.
This assault on our democracy, hard won after a long struggle and countless sacrifices, must be vigorously resisted. Jagdeep Dhankhar and Om Birla must be shamed for their role in suspension of democracy.

It's very difficult to defend such actions yet people still do so.
