The National Students' Union of India (NSUI) held a symbolic protest at its Raisina Road headquarters demanding the resignation and arrest of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over allegations of "vote chori" and concerns regarding the sanctity of the electoral process.
The protests were sparked by a media report from The Indian Express claiming that two Election Commissioners, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, had raised objections on at least 14 occasions regarding electoral rolls, the Special Intensive Regulation (SIR) process, and the panel's functioning.
Congress and other opposition parties accused the Election Commission of deleting 13 crore voters across 19 states through the Special Intensive Revision and raised objections over modifications to Form 6 for new voter registrations.
