Opposition Plans Supreme Court March Over Electoral Concerns
The INDIA bloc plans to march to the Supreme Court at 1:30 pm today, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged voter fraud. Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, accused Kumar of being pressured by senior government officials, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The opposition claims that recent revisions to voter lists have removed over 133 million names, disproportionately affecting minorities. Heavy security measures are in place in New Delhi, with thousands of police deployed and several metro stations closed. Authorities have faced criticism for detaining thousands of protesters in recent days, including journalists covering the events. The Election Commission has denied any wrongdoing, asserting that the revisions aimed to eliminate duplicate and fraudulent entries.
