UN Raises Concerns Over Delhi Protest Detentions; India Rejects Interference Claims
The UN Human Rights Office expressed concern over mass detentions during protests in Delhi led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), urging Indian authorities to respect peaceful assembly rights and release those arbitrarily detained. The protests demanded electoral reforms and the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar amid allegations denied by the Election Commission and BJP. India rejected the UN's remarks as misplaced interference, emphasizing constitutional protections and lawful restrictions. The UN also called for restraint by law enforcement and meaningful dialogue to address protesters' concerns.
