'Not sitting in ivory tower', 'can't browbeat judiciary': SC raps Rahul Gandhi's conduct in Delhi protest march

Rahul Gandhi expressed his gratitude on Monday evening to the supporters who joined the INDIA bloc's march to the Supreme Court. He also criticized the government and the RSS, stating that protesters should show up even if they were not present on previous occasions. The INDIA bloc leaders marched to the Supreme Court to challenge the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and alleged electoral irregularities.

The march was halted by police barricades, but the leaders continued and filed a joint petition in the Supreme Court. The petition sought disclosure of the Election Commission's files and safeguards against voter deletions without prior notice, along with an opportunity to be heard.
