“The blatant misuse of central companies in opposition to the individuals of the opposition seems to indicate that we’ve got transitioned from being a democracy to an autocracy. The misuse of central companies and constitutional places of work like that of the Governor – to settle rankings out of doors of the electoral battlefield is strongly condemnable because it does no longer bode neatly for our democracy,” the letter stated.

His arrest has enraged other people around the nation. Sisodia is recognised globally for remodeling Delhi’s college schooling.

His arrest can be cited international for instance of a political witch-hunt and extra ascertain what the arena was once handiest suspecting – that India’s democratic values stand threatened beneath an authoritarian BJP regime, they alleged.

Pointing to Governors of Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Telangana and the Lt Governor of Delhi, the leaders charged the places of work of those Governors with appearing in violation of the constitutional provisions and steadily hindering the governance of the state.
