The leaders were seen holding placards and posters with messages such as “Respect Opposition, Stop Intimidation!”, “Stop misusing agencies to silence opposition”, “End the reign of fear, Stop ED, IT, CBI misuse”, and “Bhaajpa mei jaao bhrashtachar ka licence pao.”
Opposition parties have been accusing the central government of misusing central agencies to silence dissent and opposition voices.
Criticism from different sectors has arisen in response to the ED and CBI’s arrests of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi Ministers, former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren, and TMC Ministers in a range of cases.
