20,000 Cops, 300 Cameras, 12 Detention Centres: Delhi's Plan to Contain CJP Protest
- The Indian Youth Congress moved the Delhi High Court on Thursday to challenge Delhi Police's refusal to permit a planned protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar at Jantar Mantar.
- Protesters demand Kumar's resignation over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls; police rejected the application citing "law and order situation in New Delhi district" and "traffic considerations."
- Relying on a 2022 standing order, IYC president Uday Bhanu Chib argued the denial is "impermissible," asserting Jantar Mantar is a designated protest spot that ensures minimal disruption for the public.
- A bench of Acting Chief Justice Nitin Wasudeo Sambre and Justice Sanjay Sharma agreed on Thursday to hear the IYC's plea on Friday, noting the petitioner may mention the matter again if unlisted.
- The Election Commission has rejected allegations of "vote chori," maintaining the SIR process ensures integrity, while opposition parties continue wider protests against the poll panel regarding transparency in electoral roll revisions.
