The manner in which the PM Modi government has unleashed every central agency against opposition leaders demonstrates that India is witnessing the "onset of dictatorship," Congress MP Rahul Gandhi claimed this morning at a press conference as his party prepared for a large protest over unemployment, price increases, and the goods and services tax, or GST.

Addressing the press, Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi said, "We're witnessing the death of democracy. What India has built brick by brick, starting almost a century ago, is being destroyed in front of your eyes. Anybody who stands against this idea of onset of dictatorship is viciously attacked, jailed, arrested & beaten up."
