A delegation of Congress leaders from Uttarakhand travelled to the national capital on Monday, gathering outside the Election Commission of India's Delhi office. The group assembled near the main entrance and raised placards demanding a review of the pending SIR issue that has been a point of contention between the party and the commission.
The protesters asserted that the SIR (Special Investigation Report) process is being mishandled and called for greater transparency and fairness in its handling.
