In the capital of India, tens of thousands of people protested against Prime Minister Modi: they demand free and fair elections

 On Sunday, March 31, tens of thousands of people together with opposition leaders demonstrated in the capital of India, demanding free and fair elections and protesting the arrests of some political leaders

This is reported by Bloomberg.

Demonstrators demonstrated to protest alleged political interference by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party in the upcoming parliamentary elections.

"We are here to save the Constitution of this country," said Mehbooba Mufti, the former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir. "If the people don't wake up today, their vote will have no value."

As noted in the publication, the opposition criticizes the ruling party, because in the last two months, two prime ministers were arrested without formal charges in court. Both are still in prison.

"India's constitution, which gave a future to the poor, which gave the right to dream, has been torn from the hands of the poor people of the country," said Rahul Gandhi, one of the leaders of India's main opposition Congress party.

The latest leader of the Aam Aadmi Party, or Common People's Party, to be arrested was Arvind Kejriwal, who was arrested last month on bribery charges related to the defunct liquor policy. He denies these allegations.

Last week, India summoned officials from Germany and the US after comments about court cases involving opposition parties. After the US called for a fair and timely trial, India's foreign ministry called the remarks "baseless" and "unacceptable".

Modi's party has also denied all allegations of meddling and using government institutions to push a political agenda.

"In India, legal processes are guided only by the rule of law," the Indian foreign ministry said in a statement. "Anyone with a similar ethos, especially friendly democracies, should have no difficulty in appreciating this fact."
