「虛偽的新高度」：莫迪總理因試圖「掩蓋」選舉債券「騙局」而遭到國會議員傑拉姆·拉梅什的猛烈抨擊薄荷

Congress Charges Prime Minister Modi with Hypocrisy over Electoral Bond Scheme

國會指控莫迪總理在選舉債券計劃上虛偽

Mumbai, April 1: In a scathing attack, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of engaging in "new heights of hypocrisy" over the contentious electoral bond scheme. Ramesh's criticism comes in response to Modi's recent remarks attempting to justify the scheme, which has been widely condemned as a tool for opaque political funding.

孟買，4 月1 日：國大黨高級領導人杰拉姆·拉梅什(Jairam Ramesh) 嚴厲批評總理納倫德拉·莫迪(Narendra Modi) 在有爭議的選舉債券計劃問題上“虛偽到了新的高度」。拉梅什的批評是對莫迪最近試圖為該計劃辯護的言論的回應，該計劃被廣泛譴責為不透明政治資助的工具。

"Prime Minister Modi has resorted to blatant lies and misrepresentation in an attempt to cover up the electoral bond scam," Ramesh asserted. "His statements are a testament to his utter contempt for transparency and accountability in political funding."

拉梅什斷言：“莫迪總理公然撒謊和歪曲事實，試圖掩蓋選舉債券騙局。” “他的言論證明了他對政治資金透明度和問責制的完全蔑視。”

The Congress leader pointed out that Modi had previously promised to bring about greater transparency in political funding, but his actions contradict his words. "The electoral bond scheme is a glaring example of his hypocrisy," Ramesh said. "It has created a loophole that allows corporate entities to anonymously fund political parties, making it impossible to track the source of funds."

這位國大黨領導人指出，莫迪先前承諾提高政治資金的透明度，但他的行動與他的言論相矛盾。拉梅什說：“選舉債券計劃是他虛偽的一個明顯例子。” “它創造了一個漏洞，允許企業實體匿名資助政黨，從而無法追踪資金來源。”

Ramesh also highlighted the potential for corruption and undue influence over political decisions that the electoral bond scheme poses. "By allowing anonymous donations, the scheme has opened the door to black money and illegal activities," he said. "It gives corporations and wealthy individuals undue sway over the political process, undermining the very foundation of democracy."

拉梅什也強調了選舉債券計劃可能造成的腐敗和對政治決策的不當影響。 「透過允許匿名捐款，該計劃為黑錢和非法活動打開了大門，」他說。 “它讓企業和富有的個人對政治進程擁有不正當的影響力，破壞了民主的基礎。”

The Congress leader urged the Supreme Court to intervene and strike down the electoral bond scheme, which he described as "an affront to the spirit of the Constitution and the principles of fair electoral practices." Ramesh also called for a comprehensive reform of political funding to ensure transparency, accountability, and equal opportunities for all political parties.

這位國大黨領導人敦促最高法院幹預並廢除選舉保證金計劃，他稱該計劃「是對憲法精神和公平選舉實踐原則的侮辱」。拉梅什也呼籲對政治資金進行全面改革，以確保所有政黨的透明度、問責制和平等機會。

The Congress's attack on Modi over the electoral bond scheme comes amidst the party's ongoing campaign against alleged corruption and cronyism in the BJP government. The party has repeatedly raised concerns about the use of electoral bonds to fund the BJP and its allies, demanding an independent investigation into the matter.

國大黨就選舉債券計畫對莫迪進行攻擊之際，該黨正在進行反對印度人民黨政府涉嫌腐敗和任人唯親的運動。該黨多次對使用選舉債券為印度人民黨及其盟友提供資金表示擔憂，要求對此事進行獨立調查。
