INDIA bloc marches through Delhi, takes SIR protest to SC
The INDIA bloc held a large-scale protest march in Delhi to petition the Supreme Court regarding alleged irregularities in electoral roll revisions. The event saw significant participation from various opposition parties and included symbolic gestures like the Congress president wearing a mask.
Why it matters
The march signifies a coordinated effort by the Indian opposition to challenge the government's electoral management on a national stage.
On a day when Delhi Police denotified Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site, a sizeable crowd walked down arterial roads in the capital, tailing a procession of buses carrying INDIA bloc leaders from Constitution Club to the Supreme Court, where Rahul Gandhi and other top leaders of the coalition filed a petition over the alleged large-scale voter deletions and irregularities in the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
