Delhi braces for more protests against election chief amid crackdown
Opposition parties joined by student groups are back on the streets, disrupting New Delhi with flash marches.
In a recent turn of events in Delhi, protests have given rise to a troubling erosion of liberty. Opponents of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar have taken to the streets, with many leading figures being detained by the police. This situation has reignited discussions about the balance between the rights to peaceful assembly and the authority of the state to maintain order.
The Constitution of India, like those of other democracies, outlines certain limits to such rights. However, the question remains whether these limits were adequately respected during the recent protests.
