India News Live Updates, 6 October 2026: INDIA bloc leaders to discuss SIR issues with President Murmu
India's political bloc leaders are heading to the Election Commission headquarters in New Delhi today. They will meet President Droupadi Murmu to express their concerns over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The Election Commission's security has been heightened across the capital since Friday, following opposition calls for protests.
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) announced plans to mobilize Gen Z and youth on October 10, protesting voter deletions and unemployment. CJP spokesperson Saurav Das stated that the protest call may have originated from the CJP, but the movement belongs to the youth, who will continue until Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar resigns.
In Chhattisgarh's Sukma district, a village has barred pastors from entering for religious activities and denied burial land to tribal Christians, citing the PESA Act and the need to protect tribal culture and traditions.
