AISA President Neha Bora Refuses Peace Bond, Challenges Restrictions on Dissent
All India Students' Association president Neha Bora has refused to sign a police-mandated peace bond following her detention during protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The Delhi High Court dismissed her challenge to the notice requiring a Rs 10,000 bond with one surety. Bora argues that peaceful protests and dissent are democratic rights and questions the rationale behind labeling such actions as threats to peace. The Special Executive Magistrate has provided Bora's legal team with documents supporting the police's claims, and she has been given time until October 29 to respond. Bora and her supporters maintain that these proceedings suppress democratic dissent, while authorities emphasize maintaining public order.
