Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi has announced that a march to the Supreme Court will be held tomorrow, Monday, October 12. He shared the information through a social media post and a video. The demand for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar has heated up the country's political climate. Meanwhile, the INDIA bloc has announced the next course of the agitation.
There is anger across the country over police action against those protesting in Delhi and Mumbai. After the march, a memorandum will be submitted to the Chief Justice. It will present the Opposition's position on alleged irregularities in the voter list, the allegations of vote theft and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
Mr Gandhi said the march was not only of political parties. According to him, it is an effort by Indian citizens to come together to protect democracy and the Constitution. He appealed to people to join it, rising above party, caste, gender, community and state boundaries. He also expressed the hope that the youth, Opposition parties, civil society and citizens who have faith in the Constitution would be part of the agitation.
In his post, Mr Gandhi wrote that the country's youth had gathered in Delhi yesterday for a peaceful protest. They had love in their hearts, not hatred or anger. Even so, in Mr Gandhi's words, the police and BJP goons beat them. He said, "This is not the India we want."
Mr Gandhi further said that tomorrow, as Indians, they would march towards the Supreme Court. According to him, a memorandum will be given to the Chief Justice on behalf of the country, demanding that vote theft be stopped, the SIR be halted and Gyanesh Kumar resign.
He also said that Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Ajit Doval and Mohan Bhagwat cannot suppress the voice of India. In Mr Gandhi's words, "These cowards cannot scare us. They will have to back off." He said everyone would walk together with love, brotherhood and patriotism. He told party workers, "Do not be afraid." He also said that tomorrow the whole of India would march to the Supreme Court.
