The Assam unit of the Indian National Congress staged a peaceful satyagraha in Guwahati, demanding that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar step down.
Congress workers in Assam gathered in Guwahati for a satyagraha, a non‑violent protest, to press for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The demonstrators assembled at a prominent public spot in the city, holding placards and chanting slogans that highlighted their demand.
Party leaders addressed the crowd, reiterating that the CEC’s continuation in office is unacceptable to them. They called for immediate action, asserting that the commission’s leadership must be changed to restore confidence in the electoral process.
As of now, the Election Commission has not issued an official response to the protest, and the situation remains under observation by local authorities.
