Rahul Gandhi Announces INDIA Bloc Protest Against CEC on October 12, Alleges Violence by 'Goons' in Delhi
The opposition says police detained CJP leaders and blocked protesters from reaching Jantar Mantar as it prepares a larger demonstration against Gyanesh Kumar.
- The Opposition India bloc plans a major protest in Delhi on Monday against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, with leaders expected to submit a formal memorandum challenging his conduct.
- This action follows a recent police crackdown on the Cockroach Janata Party, which organized a demonstration against Kumar at Jantar Mantar; authorities detained CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and other top leadership.
- TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee criticized the police crackdown, while several Opposition leaders, including West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, supported the initial protest and were among those detained.
- Reports suggest Mamata may extend her Delhi stay to join the INDIA bloc's upcoming agitation, underscoring the coalition's unified stance against CEC Kumar.
- Banerjee speculated that if Kumar is arrested, "no one—not even the BJP's top, powerful leaders—will escape," warning of potential legal action against ruling party leadership.
