Shashi Tharoor warns of ‘an India where people are scared to speak on phone’, says BJP feels it has ‘place in your bedroom’

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Thursday said in Goa that the BJP government at the Centre posed a fundamental danger to the “idea of India” enshrined in the Constitution. At a corner meeting in South Goa’s Verna, Tharoor said, “Our democracy is definitely under threat. When you vote on May 7, one of the great questions you have to ask yourself is…What kind of India do you want to live in? What kind of India do you want your children to grow up in? Where people are scared to say things on the phone because they don’t know who in the government is listening, where people are afraid to express their views openly because of consequences?”
