New Delhi: Political tensions in the national capital escalated significantly when INDIA bloc MPs marched from Parliament to the Election Commission of India (ECI) demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. During the protest march, security forces detained several key leaders, including Congress MPs Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi.
A video shared by news agency PTI on X captures Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi sitting inside Akashvani Bhawan after being detained by the authorities. Several other opposition leaders were also seen with them as they staged an impromptu sit-in.
The protest highlights the ongoing friction between the opposition and constitutional bodies regarding electoral transparency and procedures. The march was intercepted by the police citing security protocols and prohibitory orders.
The video has sparked widespread debate on social media, with supporters of the opposition condemning the detentions while critics view the protest as a political maneuver. Official statements regarding the detentions and the status of the march are awaited.
