Bank accounts of Congress, Youth Congress frozen

Congress party has claimed that the Income Tax Department has frozen its bank accounts. Ajay Maken, the Treasurer of the Congress party, expressed grave concerns over this action, stating it as an "alarming sign of democratic values being undermined in India."

According to Maken, the freezing of the party's accounts is not "just an operational setback but signifies a deeper crisis for democracy in the country."

"Democracy in India has been completely eroded," Maken lamented, pointing out that the main opposition party's ability to function has been severely hampered.
