‘Almost putting on lockdown’: Dhruv Rathee arrives in Delhi, questions security clampdown ahead of CJP protest
YouTuber Dhruv Rathee accused central government of putting Delhi under an ‘almost lock down’ ahead of CJP's planned protest on October 10, Saturday, demanding CEC Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation. Police described restrictions as precautionary, citing public safety, crowd management.
Bengaluru: In a protest against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, YouTube personality and political analyst Dhruv Rathee is set to join demonstrators at Freedom Park on Thursday. Prakash Raj, an actor and activist, announced Rathee's participation as a "special guest." Rathee confirmed his involvement in a social media post that called for others to join the demonstration.
The protest, organized by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and backed by youth and civil society groups, aims to draw attention to alleged issues with the SIR exercise, such as the removal of eligible voters from the rolls. The demonstration will include a People's Tribunal for affected individuals and calls for increased transparency and the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Rathee, known for his political commentary, urged his followers to participate in the fight to safeguard democracy. This marks his first announced appearance at a public event in Bengaluru. The CJP also plans a "Chappal Protest" and a larger protest in Delhi's Jantar Mantar on October 10.
