INDIA Bloc Marches to Supreme Court to File Plea Against CEC Gyanesh Kumar
Leaders of the INDIA bloc, led by Rahul Gandhi, took out a march to the Supreme Court to file a judicial petition against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the SIR exercise. The move follows Chief Justice of India Surya Kant declining a meeting with Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, advising the opposition to seek legal relief through judicial process as the matter is sub judice. Leaders from Congress, Samajwadi Party, Trinamool Congress, RJD, Shiv Sena UBT, and CPM joined the march. Rahul Gandhi urged the Chief Election Commissioner to resign, alleging pressure from the government. The BJP hit back, rubbishing the opposition's charges and asserting that the Congress is habitually blaming constitutional bodies for its election losses.
