‘SC not a platform for political influence’: 200 lawyers object to Rahul Gandhi's march
The members have written to the SCBA secretary and its executive committee, arguing that the march amounted to a display of political and numerical strength.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi expressed his commitment to reclaiming Jantar Mantar, a site in New Delhi, from Delhi Police and the Central government. Gandhi criticized the police and the government for sending CJP leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das to five days of judicial custody for attempting to enter Jantar Mantar, a site they deem as belonging to the people of India.
The protesters were demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, alleging irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Police claimed that the protesters trespassed, violated a peace bond, and obstructed a public official's duty as they broke through a cordon to enter Jantar Mantar.
Gandhi vowed to ensure that those responsible for assaulting protesters seeking the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar would face consequences.
