The INDIA bloc has announced a series of protests against alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and stepped up its demand for the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The Opposition will march to the Election Commission on October 6 and hold “Save Democracy” programmes across districts, while also considering a removal motion against the CEC. Also in focus: fresh Election Commission data on the 13 crore-plus names deleted during SIR, the Delhi High Court denying bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, Sahil Wakode’s parents seeking arrests and police protection on the third day of their protest, and an Indian delegation attending an SCO meeting in Pakistan.
