Opposition plans march to Supreme Court over electoral roll revision
India’s opposition INDIA bloc has called for a protest march in Delhi on Monday.
The march is planned after security forces restricted protests in central Delhi and detained demonstrators.
The protests are linked to the Special Intensive Revision, or SIR, of electoral rolls and demands for action by the Election Commission.
Opposition leaders say they will ask the Chief Justice of India to speed up cases related to the SIR and the commission.
They have also called for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to be removed.
The dispute matters because electoral rolls determine who can vote.
The opposition says its protest movement will continue, and a delegation of senior leaders plans to submit a memorandum to the Chief Justice.
