  "summary": "The Indian Express reports that NCP (SP) spokesperson Mahesh Tapase has criticized the government's clampdown on youth protesting at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, accusing the Centre of treating young people seeking answers about the electoral process as a security threat. Tapase stated that Delhi has been \"fortified\" against its own youth, with about 23,000 central paramilitary personnel and 20,000 Delhi Police personnel deployed. He questioned the government's vigilance at borders, suggesting that attacks in Pahalgam, Pulwama, and Uri could not have happened if the government had been equally vigilant. The NCP (SP) and other opposition parties are demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, alleging that he sidelined other election commissioners and that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is problematic.",
