AISA Shifts Protest Venue Amid Police Crackdown on Demonstrations in Delhi
Ahead of a planned protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, AISA leader Neha Bora urged supporters to continue despite arrests and police restrictions. The protest venue was shifted from Jantar Mantar to Dilli Haat amid heavy police deployment, barricades, and movement curbs in Delhi. Authorities denied permission citing safety concerns, detaining hundreds including student leaders and journalists. Bora framed the protest as a confrontation with the BJP, drawing parallels to the Quit India Movement of 1942.
