Congress Leader Kharge Says Modi Govt Has Imposed an ‘Undeclared Emergency’

Mallikarjun Kharge, the Congress leader and Lok Sabha’s Leader of Opposition, asserted that the Narendra Modi government has effectively imposed an undeclared emergency. He made the allegation in a statement reported by The Hindu, suggesting that recent policy moves amount to a suspension of normal democratic safeguards.
Kharge emphasized that no formal proclamation of emergency has been issued under the Constitution, yet he warned that the cumulative effect of certain executive actions mirrors the conditions of an emergency. He called for a parliamentary debate to examine the implications for civil liberties and institutional checks.
The government has not issued a response to the claim as of now. Political analysts note that such accusations are part of the broader contestation between the ruling party and the opposition ahead of upcoming electoral cycles.
The issue is expected to surface in parliamentary discussions, where opposition members may seek clarification on the alleged emergency measures.
