Opposition Plans Public Impeachment of CEC and Rally at Ramlila Maidan Amid Permission Disputes
The Opposition INDIA bloc plans a 'public impeachment' of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on October 30 at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's residence, following denied permissions at Hotel Ashoka and Ramlila Maidan. The bloc also intends to hold a large rally at Ramlila Maidan on November 1, protesting alleged electoral irregularities and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists. Delhi Police confirmed permission for the November 1 rally remains valid, subject to conditions including a 5 pm end time, CCTV surveillance, and prohibitions on overnight stays and inflammatory speeches. Opposition leaders accuse the Modi government of obstructing their protests, while police maintain the denials concern venue permissions, not the rally itself.
