India protest live: Opposition to march to Supreme Court over ‘vote theft’ | Elections News | Al Jazeera

In India, approximately 30,000 security personnel have been deployed in New Delhi to manage protests against the revision of electoral rolls, which resulted in over 7,000 arrests of students, lawyers, opposition politicians, and activists. The Chief Justice sent an email to the Congress party stating that the court cannot intervene in administrative matters but is open to hearing any grievances filed by opposition leaders. Leaders of the Cockroach Janta Party were detained Saturday during an attempt to protest at Jantar Mantar, but protests persisted with plans for further demonstrations if their peaceful march to the Supreme Court is denied.
