Here is what the page “India Opposition Protests: Hundreds Detained in Rallies Against 'Vote Theft' and 130 Milli” contains. Indian police detained hundreds of opposition supporters on Tuesday during nationwide protests against what they call 'vote theft'—the removal of 130 million voters from electoral rolls. Demonstrators, led by the Congress party and other opposition groups, demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar, accusing him of colluding with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to manipulate voter lists ahead of key state elections. The Election Commission has defended the deletions as routine cleansing of duplicate and dead voters, but critics say the scale is unprecedented and disproportionately targets marginalized communities, Dalits, and Muslims, who traditionally vote against the BJP.
The government denies any interference in the electoral process. The protests, which spread across major cities including New Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata, mark a significant escalation in the opposition's campaign against the Election Commission.
