On Monday, Congress activists marched from Barakhamba Road to the Supreme Court in Delhi, calling for the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner.
Delhi, Monday – Hundreds of Congress supporters assembled at Barakhamba Road and began a procession toward the Supreme Court, demanding that the Chief Election Commissioner step down. The rally was organised after the party filed a petition urging the election chief's resignation over alleged procedural lapses.
The demonstrators carried placards and chanted slogans, emphasizing the need for an impartial election machinery ahead of upcoming polls. Party leaders reiterated that the CEC's alleged bias threatens the credibility of the electoral process.
Police deployed a modest security detail along the route, ensuring the march proceeded without incident. No arrests were reported, and the protest concluded with the group filing their plea before the Supreme Court bench.
The Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing on the petition, where it will examine the merits of the Congress's demand and the broader implications for the election commission's autonomy.
