INDIA Bloc to Protest Against SIR and Demand CEC Resignation on October 7
The INDIA bloc parties in Delhi, including Congress, CPI, CPI(M), RJD, NCP, and RSP, plan a joint protest on October 7 outside the Delhi Election Commission office against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. They demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, calling the SIR process flawed and urging its repeal. The parties seek a transparent revision process respecting voters' rights and aim to protect electoral participation, especially for marginalized communities. The protest follows concerns over voter exclusions and notices issued to millions under the SIR.
