Indian opposition plans Supreme Court march over voter-roll allegations
Indian opposition parties plan to march to the Supreme Court in Delhi on Monday and demand action over alleged manipulation of voter rolls.
They accuse Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of overseeing changes that benefit Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party.
The Election Commission and the BJP deny the allegations.
The dispute concerns the revision of electoral rolls, known as the Special Intensive Revision, and opposition leaders want related court cases expedited.
The opposition also plans to submit a memorandum to Chief Justice Surya Kant, but he has declined a meeting, saying he would hear concerns and grant what the law allows.
The planned march follows days of protests and mass detentions in Delhi, where authorities have imposed traffic and security restrictions.
The opposition says it will continue protesting, while the planned march is the next step in its campaign.
