Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has called for a march to the Supreme Court by Congress, INDIA bloc leaders and civil society representatives to submit a memorandum over allegations of “vote chori” and concerns related to electoral roll revisions. According to opposition leaders, the march is intended to seek judicial intervention and highlight their demand for accountability from Gyanesh Kumar, the Chief Election Commissioner.
The call for the march came a day after widespread detentions of protesters and opposition activists in Delhi during anti-CEC demonstrations. Congress General Secretary K.C. Venugopal said the opposition would continue its agitation despite security restrictions, describing the movement as a struggle to safeguard voting rights and democratic institutions.
The proposed march has added a new political dimension to the ongoing protests led by Congress, the CJP and other opposition groups. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has sought explanations regarding detentions and restrictions imposed during the demonstrations, while emphasizing that peaceful protests should not face illegal curbs.
Opposition parties are expected to use the Supreme Court march as a show of unity and to escalate pressure on the Election Commission and the Centre over the controversy surrounding the electoral roll revision process.
