Opposition Unites in Face of Alleged Liquor Policy Scam

In a resounding display of unity and defiance, leaders of the opposition alliance INDIA bloc convened at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi for the “Save Democracy” rally on Sunday. This historic gathering follows the recent arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in connection with an alleged liquor policy scam, setting the stage for a charged political showdown.

The rally serves as a litmus test for the opposition’s ability to speak with one voice and present a formidable front against the ruling establishment. Despite Kejriwal’s absence, his message to the nation will be conveyed by his wife, Sunita Kejriwal, from Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody, underscoring the gravity of the situation.

Prominent figures gracing the event include Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Rahul Gandhi, NCP founder Sharad Pawar, NC Chief Farooq Abdullah, and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, among others. Their presence underscores the significance of this rally in the current political landscape.

Voices of Opposition: Unyielding Resolve

Amidst the sea of attendees, voices of opposition leaders reverberate, echoing the sentiments of millions across the nation.

Uddhav Thackeray, Maharashtra’s Chief Minister, lambasted the BJP, accusing them of harboring corrupt elements within their ranks. He emphasized the imperative of upholding democratic principles, declaring, “We are not here for the election campaign, we are here to protect democracy.”

Mehbooba Mufti, former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, denounced the arbitrary arrests and erosion of civil liberties, likening the current state of affairs to ‘Kalyug ka Amrit Kaal’. She emphasized the plight of elected representatives facing persecution and highlighted the alarming trend of dissent being equated with treachery.

A Call to Action: Defending Democracy

As the rally unfolds, the resounding message is clear: democracy is under siege, and the opposition stands united in its defense. The collective resolve exhibited at Ramlila Maidan signifies a pivotal moment in India’s political trajectory, where the forces of democracy are summoned to confront authoritarian tendencies.

In the face of adversity, the opposition alliance reaffirms its commitment to the principles of justice, accountability, and democratic governance. As the nation watches, the “Save Democracy” rally transcends partisan divides, emerging as a beacon of hope for a future where the voice of the people reigns supreme.
