Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling BJP have shown cowardice by suspending Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s membership from the Lok Sabha.
“Unable to face Rahul Gandhi’s truth, the Narendra Modi government has disqualified him from Lok Sabha membership and displayed cowardice. This is a dark day in Indian parliamentary democracy,” he said in a press statement. He further mentioned that the Congress party would fight against the injustice done to Rahul Gandhi.
“Bharatiya Janata Party is full of sins. He (PM Modi) has driven the final nail into the coffin of his own destruction. There is no question of shying away from this fascist behaviour. We will fight against this injustice in the courts and in the streets,” he said.
“An unofficial state of emergency has been declared in India today. The central government has taken a decision on Rahul Gandhi as a warning to all those who speak against PM Narendra Modi, BJP and NDA government,” he added.
