In an open letter, the signatories said they had no political brief and were speaking out because “silence is no longer a neutral choice”.
Opposition leaders in India are intensifying their protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, holding a second consecutive lunch meeting to discuss their next move. The Congress party's Rajya Sabha Leader of Opposition, Mallikarjun Kharge, has invited Opposition MPs to a lunch meeting in Connaught Place. Security was heightened outside the meeting venue as Opposition leaders arrived for the meal.
Congress MP Kodikunnil Suresh reiterated the party's stance that Gyanesh Kumar must resign, and the government should dismiss and arrest him if he refuses. The next strategy to be decided during the meeting will be led by key Opposition figures like Rahul Gandhi, Kharge, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and other INDIA bloc leaders.
