Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray Announce Mumbai Protest Against Election CommissionPreviousNext

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray have announced a joint protest march in Mumbai on October 4 against Chief Election Commissioner Dnyanesh Kumar and the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The protest, starting from Byculla and ending near CSMT, invites all political parties and citizens to participate, emphasizing an apolitical stance with only the national flag. The move follows reported objections by Election Commissioners to the SIR process and demands for Kumar's resignation by opposition parties.
