Key Questions Answered
CJP leaders state that multiple sources informed them of an imminent government crackdown under the National Security Act to preemptively disrupt their planned nationwide October 10 protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar.
The escalation stems from an ongoing political controversy regarding alleged voter deletions during the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision exercise, with the party demanding the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
High-stakes demonstrations broke out on Gandhi Jayanti, where a rally at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park concluded peacefully, but a parallel march toward Jantar Mantar in New Delhi resulted in violent police clashes and the detention of approximately 550 individuals.
