Indian Opposition Plans Supreme Court March Over Alleged Vote Fraud Amid Mass Arrests

At 02:20, the Cockroach Janta Party protest led to the arrest of the party leader and thousands of activists. Meanwhile, India’s main opposition party, the Indian National Congress, announced plans for a march to the Supreme Court at 08:00 GMT.

The opposition aims to meet Chief Justice Surya Kant to submit a memorandum demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged vote fraud. However, Kant has declined to meet with the opposition leaders, citing that cases concerning the revision of electoral rolls—which removed 130 million people from voter lists—are already pending before the top court.
