The INDIA coalition has marched to the Supreme Court for the first time following the expiry of Chief Justice’s 24‑hour ultimatum, marking a significant escalation in the legal battle.
The INDIA coalition staged its first-ever march to the Supreme Court premises in New Delhi after the Chief Justice’s 24‑hour ultimatum to withdraw its petition expired. The protest, which began in the early hours of the day, saw a sizable contingent of opposition leaders and supporters converge on the court’s front steps.
The coalition’s leaders, without naming individuals, called for an immediate hearing of their case and urged the court to address the legal issues at hand. The Supreme Court has yet to issue a response to the march or the coalition’s demands.
This unprecedented move by the INDIA bloc underscores the growing tension between the opposition and the judiciary over the pending case. The march is seen as a bold statement of the coalition’s willingness to confront the court directly, a step not taken by any opposition alliance before.
