Modi’s Independence Day speech
Modi called for a uniform civil code, describing it as a secular measure not influenced by religious beliefs
He advocated for holding all elections simultaneously to streamline the process.
He emphasized the need for increased safety for women, referencing the recent assault and murder of a doctor in Kolkata
Modi mentioned attempts to destabilize the economy, reflecting the BJP’s view on a report by Hindenburg Research that criticized the SEBI chief for conflicts of interest.
Concerns with Government Actions
The government is seen as taking a one-sided approach, particularly in issues like the uniform civil code, which requires broad consensus.
There are concerns that corruption investigations are focused on opposition leaders while ignoring serious allegations against ruling party officials.
Criticism of the government is sometimes dismissed as a threat to national stability, which undermines democratic processes.
Need for Inclusiveness:
The government should be more inclusive and seek broader consultation to advance national interests.
Addressing issues like corruption and policy reforms should be done fairly, without bias or selective scrutiny.
It should remind everyone that the government should be accountable to the people and that democracy involves holding the government responsible through political processes.
