Any impeachment motion against CEC will be examined under rules: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla
- On Saturday, Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal announced the INDIA bloc will hold a "Public Impeachment" of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on October 30, delivering a "public verdict" to remove him.
- The bloc's ongoing anti-Special Intensive Revision agitation seeks Kumar's resignation over alleged irregularities in the electoral exercise. Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel alleged over 13 crore voters were removed from electoral rolls across India.
- Following the impeachment, the coalition plans a "Dilli Chalo" march culminating at Ramlila Maidan on November 1, though Bharatiya Janata Party MP Ravi Shankar Prasad criticized the date, citing the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
- CTI Chairman Brijesh Goyal urged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to postpone the November 1 rally until after November 10, citing peak festive business worth Rs 25,000 crore in Delhi.
- The Constitution protects the Chief Election Commissioner against removal, requiring proved misbehavior through parliamentary procedure similar to a Supreme Court judge, limiting the symbolic impeachment's legal effect.
