The move comes after Delhi Police detained at least 500 protesters attempting to reach Jantar Mantar for a proposed demonstration called by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) against Kumar, sources said. Meanwhile, the IYC alleged that police had surrounded its headquarters at 5, Raisina Road, since Friday, with barricades preventing people from entering or leaving the premises.
Enough of this intimidation,” the IYC said, addressing Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The protesters were detained from several locations across New Delhi, including near Regal Cinema, Minto Bridge and Akashwani Bhawan. Police also deployed drones to monitor the movement of people trying to reach the protest site, they added. “Mr Shah, this is Delhi, not your personal police kingdom. Open the gates.
The report claimed that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had objected on record at least 14 times over the past 10 months to decisions and orders related to the SIR, saying they had been issued without their knowledge or recommendation. The protests against the chief election commissioner follow an investigation published by The Indian Express last month.
