Rahul Gandhi Detained as Opposition Protest Escalates Over Voter Rolls

Rahul Gandhi and other opposition politicians protested changes to voter lists.

They wanted to march to the Election Commission’s office, but police stopped them.

Gandhi and some colleagues then sat in protest at a nearby building and were detained later.

The opposition says the changes could unfairly remove people from voter lists and wants the chief election commissioner to resign.

The Election Commission says Gandhi’s claims are misleading and points to a court ruling about the process.

Some parties in the opposition alliance did not join the march, while members of another party did.

The protest was part of a week-long campaign.

The events also led to disagreements among some opposition allies about how the protest was handled.
