Opposition parties are organizing a march to the Supreme Court, despite Chief Justice of India Surya Kant declining a meeting to discuss alleged voter theft. The planned protest is set to take place today at 4 p.m. local time (10:30 UTC) in New Delhi, led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. The INDIA bloc, of which Gandhi is a part, aims to submit a memorandum to the Chief Justice of India regarding the issue.

Over 30,000 security personnel were deployed in the city, and the internet was suspended within 4 kilometers of Jantar Mantar prior to the planned demonstration.
