Modi govt has imposed undeclared emergency in Central Delhi, says Surjewala

New Delhi: Congress general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala on Monday slammed the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre over the heavy security deployment in Central Delhi in view of the grand old party's former president Rahul Gandhi's appearance before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the National Heral case, and termed it as "undeclared emergency”.

The Congress MP categorically said that the party won't bow down and will continue its fight against the government, which he accused of crushing democracy and the Constitution of India.

"In Central Delhi, the Modi government has imposed an undeclared emergency as heavy security arrangements have been put in place. Modi ji is afraid of the 'Satyagraha' of the Congress and Rahul Gandhi," Surjewala said, while addressing a press conference at the party headquarters here.
