Rahul Gandhi cites Swedish file, claims ‘India not a democratic nation’

Congress chief Rahul Gandhi Thursday claimed India was once “not” a democratic nation, quoting media stories on Swedish Institute’s democracy file that downgraded India.

“India is not a democratic nation,” he mentioned on Twitter, tagging a information file mentioning Sweden’s V-Dem Institute’s democracy file that has downgraded India from ‘global’s biggest democracy’ to ‘electoral democracy’.

This comes after every other world file through a US government-funded NGO, Freedom Area downgraded India’s standing from “unfastened” to “in part unfastened” and claimed that “political rights and civil liberties have eroded in India since Narendra Modi was top minister in 2014”.

The federal government has strongly rebutted the Freedom Area file and referred to as it “deceptive, mistaken and out of place”, whilst saying that the rustic has smartly established democratic practices.

Gandhi has been attacking the federal government over the problem of freedom to speech and expression.
