INDIA Bloc Protest Live Updates: A day after several opposition leaders, including Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, were detained and later released during protests in Delhi against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, the INDIA bloc has planned a larger demonstration today.
On Wednesday, the opposition parties had worked out a plan to move together after a luncheon meeting hosted by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge. INDIA bloc MPs will stage a bigger protest on the ground on Thursday against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, opposition leaders said on Wednesday, after they were stopped from reaching Jantar Mantar during a coordinated mobilisation involving the members of Parliament of several parties. Former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will be joining the protest. The parties arranged three air-conditioned buses to transport the MPs, coordinating the movement and ensuring representation from different constituents of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA). The buses were stopped at Ashoka Road, near the Shangri-La hotel, about two kilometres from Jantar Mantar.
