‘We cannot let this become normal’: Neha Bora on Delhi protest crackdown

Times of India reports that Neha Bora, a leader of the AISA party, has criticized the police crackdown on protesters in Delhi following a protest on October 10 demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Bora expressed her concern that "we cannot let this become normal," emphasizing the ongoing fight for democracy.

She was among 7,000 protesters detained by police who prevented demonstrators from reaching Jantar Mantar, alongside other prominent figures including Arvind Kejriwal, Mamata Banerjee, Pinarayi Vijayan, and Manik Sarkar. The Supreme Court has scheduled a special hearing on Sunday to address petitions challenging the preventive detention of thousands of protesters, including opposition leaders.
