INDIA bloc lawmakers, packed into three buses, attempted to launch another massive protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar at Jantar Mantar but were stopped by the Delhi Police on Janpath, bringing a large part of New Delhi to a halt on a busy Wednesday.
“So today, we intend to go to the designated protest site—Jantar Mantar—and sit there once again to convey to the nation that, for us, Shri Gyanesh Kumar is not a legitimate Election Commissioner of the country. And as I said yesterday—those who have done this are traitors, and we will take action against them. The lawmakers were invited by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge for a vegetarian lunch at a popular restaurant on Janpath. After the lunch was over, it was decided to proceed to Jantar Mantar to restart the protest, which began with Tuesday’s march from Parliament to Akashvani Bhavan. “Secondly, the Election Commission is repeatedly making mistakes at the behest of Modi ji. When Modi ji orchestrates such errors, it implies an attempt to destroy democracy in this country; he pays no heed to the Constitution. That is why Rahul ji is fighting, and all parties have united to inform the people across the country that their entitlements and rights are being taken away; we are striving to safeguard those rights. No matter how many cases are filed against us or how much intimidation is attempted, we will not be cowed; we will keep smiling and moving forward. Modi ji, Amit Shah ji, Mohan Bhagwat, and Gyanesh Kumar ji have destroyed the country’s democracy. Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, along with Congress general secretary KC Venugopal and a few other party leaders, managed to enter the Akashvani Bhavan campus to continue their protest While most of the MPs and party supporters were detained and taken away.
Therefore, we decided that it is our duty to convey the people’s concerns to the entire nation. the Samajwadi Party, which has 37 MPs in the Lok Sabha, skipped it, blaming a lack of communication from the Congress While many parties joined the lunch hosted by Mallikarjun Kharge. On Wednesday, nearly 300 Opposition MPs marched from Parliament to Akashvani Bhavan to step up pressure on Gyanesh Kumar and force him to resign. The march, part of a series of events planned by the INDIA bloc against Kumar, was stopped by the Delhi Police near Akashvani Bhavan, less than 300 metres from Nirvachan Sadan, the poll body’s central office.
I am telling you right now: Gyanesh Kumar will have to resign,” he said.
