  "account": "Opposition parties have called for a protest march to the Supreme Court on Monday, demanding the removal of Central Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and action against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The movement was sparked after security forces surrounded central Delhi, preventing thousands of protesters from voicing their dissent. Opposition leaders, including Congress general secretary K C Venugopal and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, have urged citizens to join the protest and hold a memorandum with the Chief Justice of India for intervention in the crisis. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge accused the Modi-led government of turning India into a \"muzzled democracy,\" while Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee vowed to continue protests in Delhi. Despite detentions and arrests, the Opposition remains committed to defending the Constitution and protecting people's voices.",
