Anit-CEC row LIVE: CJI Surya Kant declines to meet INDIA bloc leaders
CJP co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka said he and other leaders of the outfit would approach Delhi Police on Monday (October 12, 2026) to seek a date for holding a peaceful protest at the Jantar Mantar, Rahul Gandhi to submit memorandum to CJI demanding end to 'vote chori'
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant declined a meeting with opposition leaders on Monday, citing that the issues they wished to discuss were already before the Supreme Court. The court cannot interfere in matters of governance, according to Kant. Protesters, including Rajya Sabha MP John Brittas and AISA president Neha, were injured by security forces while detained in Delhi on Sunday.
Journalists were also detained while covering the protest, despite Supreme Court directives. The Cockroach Janta Party vowed to continue its protest against Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, with protests held in various locations around New Delhi and a security clampdown enforced. Similarly, Mumbai Police detained demonstrators at Shivaji Park in Dadar, alleging police personnel were at multiple entry points and that people were detained even before they could join the demonstration.
