Delhi Police detained INDIA bloc MPs, including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Sanjay Raut, and Sagarika Ghose, among others, who were protesting against the SIR and staged a march from Parliament to the Election Commission of India.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says, “As long as there are doubts in the minds of people about the fairness of the elections, that is harming the credibility of the Election Commission. As long as those doubts are removed, then the Election Commission’s credibility can be regained. The Election Commission’s own interest lies in addressing these questions.”
Visuals from the protest have emerged and show the Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav jumping the police barricade.
