Ahead of Amit Shah’s visit, Haryana Congress flags concerns over democracy, law and order

CHANDIGARH Ahead of the Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to Haryana to lead the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) ‘Save democracy, remove anarchy’ march, the Haryana Congress on Wednesday (November 4, 2026) put out a series of pointed questions to the ruling party on issues related to democracy, electoral fairness, the independence of constitutional institutions, and the steadily deteriorating state of governance in the State. “It was astonishing that the BJP, which had failed to provide satisfactory answers to serious questions concerning electoral transparency, was now launching a campaign in the name of saving democracy,” the Congress’s Haryana in-charge Sanjay Dutt said.

“Democracy is not safeguarded merely through slogans, processions and political events. It is protected through transparency, accountability, institutional independence and respect for the people’s mandate.
