Protests have erupted in major Indian cities as demonstrators take to the streets to call for the removal of the Election Commission chief, escalating political tensions ahead of upcoming elections. Organizers claim the official’s handling of electoral processes has undermined public trust, while authorities have yet to respond to the growing unrest. The demonstrations, marked by slogans and placards, reflect deep divisions over transparency and governance in the lead-up to critical voting periods. With no immediate resolution in sight, the situation raises questions about the commission’s future and its role in shaping democratic processes.
Demonstrators gather in Mumbai and New Delhi to demand the resignation of Election Commission chief.
