Delhi Faces Security Clampdown Amid Protests Against Election Commission
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant declined a meeting request from the INDIA Bloc, which included Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi. The request, dated 10 October, was turned down due to ongoing issues being sub judice in the Supreme Court. CJI Kant emphasized that the court cannot intervene in governance matters and urged that the Supreme Court should not be drawn into political disputes. He reiterated that every Indian citizen has the right to approach the court. The Supreme Court is set to hear related petitions concerning protests and police actions on 12 October.
