“India Electoral Rolls Revision Sparks Delhi Protests, Crackdown, and Questions on Election” — what this page in the network covers. India is witnessing a wave of protests against the recent electoral rolls revision that removed 130 million people from voter lists, with demonstrators demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the scrapping of the controversial changes. The unrest has escalated in Delhi, where daily protests over the past week have been met with a heavy-handed crackdown. Over the weekend, the capital was effectively locked down, transformed into a militarized zone with barricades, road closures, and paramilitary forces.
Ahead of a protest led by the Cockroach Janta party on Saturday, authorities cancelled 245 trains, shut 45 metro stations, closed liquor shops, cut internet services in central Delhi, and placed activists under house arrest. The situation has raised serious concerns about the independence of India's electoral process and the government's tolerance for dissent.
