Proves all working freely, democracy in action: BJP

New Delhi witnessed the BJP expressing confidence in the country's democratic institutions on Monday. The Supreme Court's recent notices to the Election Commission and the Centre over disputed decisions were presented by the BJP as evidence of independent functioning of all country's institutions, with no fear or dictatorship prevailing.

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra highlighted the democratic nature of the proceedings, noting that everyone was expressing their opinions freely and adhering to established procedures, further underscoring the country as a model of democracy. The top court's decision to issue notices to the Election Commission and the Centre regarding the poll panel's actions was deemed a standard, democratic, and judicial process by Patra.

This development signifies the country's commitment to democracy, where institutions operate within the framework of the Indian Constitution, he added. Patra questioned those who previously claimed India was under a "Hitler regime" or a dictatorship, asserting that the atmosphere in the country now is one of democracy. The fact that the matter reached the Supreme Court and resulted in notices being issued further exemplifies the democratic process at work, according to Patra.
