Lucknow, Feb 05: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday launched a scathing attack at the government, questioning the illegal detention of former chief ministers and wondering whether 'India is still a democracy or not.'

Taking to Twitter, she wrote, "It's been six months since two ex-Chief Ministers have been incarcerated without any charges and millions of people were locked down in J&K."

"Six months ago we were asking how long this will carry on? Now we are asking whether we are still a democracy or not," she added.

The Modi government had, on August 5 last year, abrogated Article 370 of the Constitution, thus revoking the special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
