Mumbai's great-grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, Tushar Gandhi, declared on Sunday that authorities had refused him permission to hold a protest march demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. Despite most offices being closed on Sunday, the police insisted they would not permit even a step beyond Azad Maidan, according to IANS. Gandhi expressed determination, stating that the movement to oust Kumar and safeguard democracy would proceed through a series of protests, emphasizing their unyielding spirit.
Speaking to IANS, Gandhi noted that this struggle would be prolonged, adding that he planned a Mumbai protest in solidarity with the Delhi rally. The intended route would pass the Ferozeshah Mehta statue, proceed to Regal Cinema Circle, pass Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar's statue, and conclude near the statues of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi. He highlighted the potential for unrest from a BJP-staged counter-Satyagraha, alleging that those responsible for disruptions in past protests were BJP supporters.
Claiming to have received warnings from multiple South Mumbai police stations, Gandhi announced his intent to begin the Satyagraha at 2:30 PM. He noted the intimidation of the administration by a single individual carrying a Tiranga and Constitution, emphasizing the potency of Individual Satyagraha.
