Congress welcomes the ECI’s move to provide readable voter rolls but demands CEC Gyanesh Kumar’s removal and immediate suspension of the SIR.

Protests demanding CEC Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation continued with Dipke being granted conditional bail and Neha Bora being released after 14 hours in detention.

The journalist earlier alleged that she was violently shoved by Gandhi and his security during a chaotic exit from the Supreme Court during the protest march on October 12.

The plea stated that there is no provision under the current law or statutory rules that prohibits an OCI cardholder from participating in a peaceful protest.

Gandhi further said that the alleged violence unleashed by the Delhi Police stems from the fear of PM Modi and HM Shah over power slipping from their hands.

As per reports, Dipke has been asked to sign another peace bond.

She was released on Saturday morning.

Dipke was detained ahead of the ‘Lehra Do Tiranga’ protest march at Connaught Place with his preventive arrest being recorded under the BNSS.

Protesters demanded CEC Gyanesh Kumar's resignation and a rollback of SIR, while the BJP accused the Opposition of using young people to foment unrest.

The poll panel is examining rival claims over the party's organisational structure and authorised signatories after both factions were barred from using its name and symbol in West Bengal bypolls.

Organisers were barred from staging protests, displaying placards or raising slogans against political parties as the march proceeded from Town Hall to the Quit India Memorial.

Officials said the notices were issued to electors whose names fall under the ‘no mapping’ and ‘anomalies’ categories

The Defence Minister accuses Rahul Gandhi and the INDIA bloc of fuelling unrest through protests while citing the Emergency, the 1984 anti-Sikh violence and the 1990 Ram Janmabhoomi firing as past Congress-era transgressions.
