INDIA bloc plans protest march in Delhi on Monday, seeks CJI's intervention
On Monday, the Congress and the entire INDIA bloc and the country's youth will again take to the streets in massive numbers, said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi
Protests are planned in Delhi on Monday, with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi stating that the Congress, the entire INDIA bloc, and the country's youth will take to the streets in large numbers. This comes after a day of traffic restrictions and security checks in Delhi on Sunday, due to protests called by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and student groups demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
According to the Hindustan Times, around 7,000 people were detained across the city on Saturday. The CJP has vowed to continue its protest until Gyanesh Kumar resigns, with leaders stating they will not back down despite the detention of some of their members, including Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das, and Ashutosh Ranka.
The Supreme Court is set to hear a plea on Sunday accusing the authorities of defying its order by completely shutting down metro and train services, although curbs on these services are being lifted.
