Anit-CEC row LIVE: CJI Surya Kant declines to meet INDIA bloc leaders
The Chief Justice of India has declined a meeting with INDIA bloc leaders regarding their protest against the Election Commission. The opposition group is now seeking police permission to hold a demonstration at Jantar Mantar.
Why it matters
The friction between opposition political parties and judicial/electoral institutions is a critical indicator of the health of democratic processes.
CJP co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka said he and other leaders of the outfit would approach Delhi Police on Monday (October 12, 2026) to seek a date for holding a peaceful protest at the Jantar Mantar, a day after three of its top leaders were detained at Delhi airport ahead of its planned demonstration in the capital.
