‘Don’t fear police, lathis’: Rahul Gandhi calls students to ‘Delhi Chalo’ protest against CEC

Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, has called upon students nationwide to participate in a protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The INDIA bloc is demanding Kumar's removal from his post. In a message shared on X, Gandhi urged students not to be concerned about police or lathis, asserting that the BJP lacks the courage to resort to such tactics.

He stated that the protest aims to shield the Constitution and the Indian nation, representing a united demonstration against those who have harassed Modi, Amit Shah, and Gyanesh Kumar.

The Wayanad MP will lead the march at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi on November 1. In the video message accompanying the call to action, Gandhi emphasized that the protest will not be a partisan affair, but a collective demonstration for those who feel threatened by the actions of the current government. He urged all student groups, regardless of their political leanings, to join the demonstration if they believe India is under assault, asserting that their voices, ideas, and perspectives are under threat.

Gandhi expressed his excitement for the march, describing it as a celebration of the soul of the country, and expressed his anticipation of seeing all participants there.
