'New Delhi modelled after new J&K': Omar Abdullah on internet curbs for CJP protest

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has criticized the suspension of internet services in parts of Delhi, comparing it to the "Kashmir model" being "exported" to the national capital. The criticism comes as security arrangements are being tightened across New Delhi ahead of a protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, scheduled for Saturday.

The protest, called 'Jantar Mantar 2.0', aims to seek accountability over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, despite police denying permission. Over 35,000 Delhi Police and paramilitary personnel are deployed, with roads leading to Jantar Mantar set to be closed and mobile internet services suspended within a 4-km radius of the venue.
