Congress leader Shashi Tharoor invoked Ramdhari Singh 'Dinkar's poem 'Janatantra Ka Janma' to highlight democratic sovereignty amid protests demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. Tharoor echoed Rahul Gandhi's slogan 'This government will go' as opposition parties criticized alleged irregularities in the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision exercise and police actions during demonstrations. The opposition's INDIA bloc planned a march in Delhi against these issues, while authorities imposed security measures and detained several leaders during protests.
