JAMMU, Apr 4: Rattan Lal Gupta, Provincial President of National Conference for Jammu, today said that democracy was under severe threat as there was a semblance to authoritarian regime under BJP rule because opposition voices were being muzzled every now and then.
In a statement issued to media persons, the NC leader said that the ruling party was promoting pandemonium in Parliament to avoid the questions from opposition, which is nothing but the proof of ‘death’ of democracy.
“With people who are answerable trying to create hullabaloo in the Parliament, it could be well gauged that future of country is bleak under such representatives, who are draining exchequer by stopping the Parliament from normal functioning,” he said.
Commenting on J&K, he alleged that the erstwhile state had been undemocratically converted into a Union Territory and no elections were conducted in J&K after dissolving its Legislative Assembly despite bounding of holding the same within 6 months. He said that those who used to talk about taxes in J&K under the successive regimes are today imposing taxes (Property Tax) without consulting any of the stakeholders or the public representatives making mockery of those who supported them for making Article 370 redundant.
