Indian opposition leaders are planning a march to the country’s top court to demand that the election chief resign, following a turbulent weekend in Delhi that saw thousands of protesters detained by police.
The planned action is intended to press the opposition’s demand directly before the court. The supplied information does not specify when the march will take place or identify the individual election chief being targeted.
The announcement follows unrest in the Indian capital over the weekend. Thousands of protesters were detained by police during events described as chaotic, although the material available does not provide further details about the demonstrations, the reasons for the detentions or any official explanation from the authorities.
The latest known development is the opposition’s decision to proceed with a march to the top court. Its outcome, and whether the election chief responds to the demand for resignation, have not been reported in the supplied material.
