Overview
- A six-member delegation led by AISA president Neha Bora submitted the formal intimation to Delhi Police on Monday to hold a protest at Jantar Mantar on Gandhi Jayanti.
- The delegation included Yogendra Yadav, senior advocate Prashant Bhushan, social activist Nikhil Dey, academic Nandita Narain and RJD MP Manoj Jha.
- The filing follows mass detentions during an AISA-led demonstration at Jantar Mantar on Friday, September 25, when police said the earlier protest lacked required permission.
- Organisers are demanding action against CEC Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, a push that has been amplified by the Indian Youth Congress through street actions and an online petition calling for Kumar’s removal and a probe.
- The campaign began after reports that two election commissioners raised internal objections to the electoral-roll revision, and the coming days will test whether Delhi Police grant permission, whether the Election Commission responds publicly, and whether the dispute prompts an independent inquiry.
