Supreme Court to Hear Petitions on Delhi Protest Restrictions
Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi will lead a march to the Supreme Court on October 12, 2026, amid ongoing protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The Congress party aims to submit a memorandum to Chief Justice Surya Kant, demanding an end to alleged 'vote chori' and the resignation of the CEC. The protest, termed 'Chalo Delhi - March for Democracy', is expected to draw participation from various opposition parties and civil society groups. Six metro stations in Delhi will be closed from 6 am to 4 pm on the day of the march, and traffic restrictions are in place. This event follows the detention of around 7,000 protesters on October 10 during similar demonstrations against the CEC, which faced a significant security response from authorities.
