The Janta Party (CJP) and various student groups have vowed to hold daily protests at Jantar Mantar in Delhi until Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar steps down or is removed from office, amid allegations of vote tampering and collusion with the ruling BJP. CJP leader Abhijeet Dipke and several others are currently in custody following a police operation.
Hundreds of protesters were also arrested after calling for a gathering at Jantar Mantar. CJP members accused authorities of brutal treatment of innocent demonstrators, alleging that Dipke was being inhumanely treated and not allowed to attend his grandmother's funeral. Ajinkya Shinde, appointed by Dipke to lead the protest, vowed daily marches until Kumar's removal.
The INDIA bloc, led by Congress, plans to protest on Monday, demanding Kumar's resignation and various electoral reforms. Over 1,500 individuals were detained in Delhi on Saturday as authorities barred the CJP's planned rally, citing lack of official permission. More arrests occurred in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Chennai, and other cities.
