Democracy is diminishing in India: Kharge
Speaking to reporters, Kharge said the people demanding an apology must answer on Prime Minister Narendra Modi "humiliating" Indians with his remarks abroad.
"We were told by Modi that being born in India is a sin," Kharge said.
"Democracy is diminishing here, freedom of expression and speech are being weakened... If this is not the process of ending democracy then what is?" he added.
