In India, massive protests are taking place in New Delhi against the revision of electoral rolls, and for the resignation of the head of the electoral commission
On November 1, thousands gathered in New Delhi to demand the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar, head of the electoral commission, following a controversial voter list revision. Led by opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, the protest criticized reforms perceived as favoring Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party. Many demonstrators reported being removed from voter lists, with claims that the revisions disproportionately affected minorities, particularly Muslims. Human Rights Watch condemned the process as arbitrary, urging authorities to halt it. The opposition has been mobilizing for weeks, recalling previous protests that led to the resignation of a minister after student demonstrations.
