Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed concern on Thursday that the opposition Congress was stifling protests demanding accountability and reforms. Speaking at the NDTV World Summit, Modi warned that Congress was preventing young opposition leaders from gaining opportunities while attempting to keep a single individual in the spotlight.
His comments came amid protests in Delhi over alleged irregularities in electoral rolls, calls for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, and restrictions on the right to protest.
