Opposition Rallies at Jantar Mantar Demanding CEC Resignation

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge convened opposition leaders in the capital to formalize their grievances, drafting a demand for an urgent meeting regarding the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. The atmosphere remains charged following Tuesday’s detentions at Nirvachan Sadan, which opposition figures claim have only fortified their resolve. TMC MP Derek O'Brien emphasized the unified front, stating that the parties intend to challenge the current administration until their demands are met.

Legal pressure is mounting, yet individual lawmakers appear unfazed by the police action. Congress MP Deepender Hooda confirmed his inclusion in a recently registered FIR, dismissing the move as an intimidation tactic that will not deter their broader campaign to protect constitutional processes. Simultaneously, the Aam Aadmi Party has launched parallel demonstrations near Kashmere Gate, citing widespread concerns over electoral integrity. As the standoff persists, the Congress has signaled that these protests will remain a central fixture of their political agenda until the Commission addresses their specific allegations regarding voter registration protocols.
