New Delhi police have detained several Indian opposition lawmakers, including Lok Sabha opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, while they were marching from the Parliament building to the Election Commission office, according to Indian media reports.
Following his detention, Gandhi said, “We are not allowed to speak. The truth is that this struggle is not political—it is a fight to save the Constitution. It is a fight for one person, one vote. That is why we need a clear and transparent voter list.”
The protest march included prominent opposition leaders such as Priyanka Gandhi, Dimple Yadav, Mahua Maji, Sanjay Raut, Randeep Surjewala, and K.C. Venugopal.
Opposition MPs allege that the Election Commission is attempting to cover up “voter fraud” by refusing to provide a separate list of the 6.5 million voters reportedly removed from Bihar’s electoral roll.
