Questioning the prevailing democratic situation in the country, BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha, who has often spoken against the BJP government at the Centre, on Tuesday said democracy in India has "relapsed a lot". "Democracy has relapsed a lot. Some of the incidents that we have noticed were not desirable," said Sinha.

"This (Supreme Court judges coming out in public) was first time it happened in the history of Indian democracy. I am not saying what's right or wrong. I am saying how the situation came to a pass where they had to come out and talk to media. I feel very sad about it," Sinha said at an event organised by Calcutta Chamber of Commerce.
