Protests demanding the resignation of chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar intensified across Delhi and Mumbai on Friday, with around 700 people detained in the national capital and thousands gathering at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park despite police denying permission for the demonstrations. The protests, involving opposition parties, student organisations and youth groups, centred on alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and claims of mass voter deletions.
In Delhi, AAP leaders Atishi, Saurabh Bharadwaj and Sanjeev Jha, AISA president Neha Bora, CPI(M) leaders M A Baby and Brinda Karat, CPI national secretary P Sandosh Kumar, RJD leader Manoj Jha, social activist Yogendra Yadav, DYFI president A A Rahim and former JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh were among those detained.
