Assam Congress Leaders Detained During Protest Demanding CEC Gyanesh Kumar's Removal
Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi and several senior leaders were detained during a protest demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The protest involved a march from Rajiv Bhawan towards the Chief Electoral Officer's office, where protesters planned to burn an effigy of the CEC. Police erected barricades to block the march, leading to the detention of Gogoi and others when they attempted to cross. Gogoi accused the Election Commission of irregularities and called for Kumar's resignation and legal action, while Congress leaders described the arrests as forceful and a threat to democracy. The BJP and government officials named by Gogoi denied the allegations.
