Opposition leaders staged a flash protest and marched towards Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, demanding the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The demonstration included prominent leaders such as Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, Priyanka Gandhi, Karti Chidambaram, K. C. Venugopal, and Derek O'Brien, alongside members from youth outfits including the NSUI. Protesters alleged that constitutional integrity and democracy were being compromised, reiterating calls for accountability despite heavy police barricading along Janpath Road and the deployment of Rapid Action Force vehicles. Protesting leaders carried posters and national flags as buses and private vehicles moved toward the designated protest site following meetings held earlier in the day. The gathering witnessed united participation across regional parties, highlighting sustained demands for the removal of the election commissioner despite warnings of detentions by law enforcement authorities in the national capital.

00:10We are going to go now again and tell us that our country is not a legitimate election commissioner.
00:26I amit shah jih mohan bhagwat jianesh kumar jih ne dhese ke lofsan truk hatam kiya
00:37hai, jenho ne ye kama kiya hai, jenho ne ye kama kiya hai, ye dhese rohi hai,
00:43or in par ham action lehenge, mai aap ko abhi bata raha hu, jianesh kumar ko sifah
00:49dhenha padega.
01:12So that is the reaction from Rahul Gandhi where he is reiterating his charge saying
01:18that Gyanesh Kumar must resign and that he's what is he ascribing as a collusion of Prime Minister
01:26and Home Minister with the CEC as well so now he's firm that they are now not afraid of FIRs
01:33they have decided to stay on the ground now let me go back to Shriya as well who's been on
01:37the
01:37site and she's tracking the bus also where all the MPs are right now in so Shriya it seems that
01:43the Congress is in fact firm on the demand that this time they will not go back because we've
01:49seen in the protests earlier on wherein we see that Congress often when it comes out on the street
01:54then it gets detained and it goes back into the shell but this time we're seeing a different
01:58pattern emerging where the Congress in fact wants to be on the ground they want to be visible
02:02because at the same time we're also seeing that CJP has given its call for October 10th protests
02:07and Congress doesn't seem to be backing down as well
02:14absolutely not there is no backing down from any side for that matter CJP earlier in fact if you
02:20remember they went to the parliament police station earlier in the day to get permission for the
02:24October 10th protest they have not received a permission but that did not stop them from
02:30in fact organizing the protest in Mumbai number of hundreds of people had gathered there despite
02:36there being no permission and the protests went on in Delhi in the heart of the national capital
02:42while yesterday we saw the police officers clashing with the political leaders detentions taking
02:47place high voltage drama taking place and yet you can spot in the camera Karthi Chidambaram sitting in
02:53the bus right now all of the leaders moving toward Jantar Mantar for the protest that seems to have
03:01planned it's a flash protest of sorts protesters coming in from behind as I speak there are more and more
03:08people coming in and Rahul Gandhi viewers I would request my camera person to pan the camera this is Rahul

03:33of the political
03:34political leaders have in fact taken their personal vehicles but they're all out on the streets as we speak they're
03:42all
03:42marching in unison forgetting algorithms and negotiations on seats and at the regional level forgetting political
03:50ideological differences they are here in unison with their call the one call that they have remained very firm on
03:59the chief election
04:00commissioner of India that is Gyanesh Kumar's resignation now there has been a lot of planning
04:08there's a lot of strategizing that's happened at the luncheon at this given point as we speak but the finer
04:13points of that we
04:14will learn in a little while the latest development Jessica as I speak is of the leaders the political leaders

04:24to march to Jantar Mantar a massive crowd has in fact come out to gather here some as protesters lending
04:34into the very
04:35march lending their support to the very much walking with the political leaders while others have just come in to
04:43show their
04:43support from the sidelines itself but either way it's a complete call of unity as we speak cars coming in
04:52as I'm speaking
04:56there is a lot of action taking place on the ground political leaders one by one leaving the very destination
05:07and what is the security situation when it comes to the site of Jantar Mantar as well because we've been
05:13getting the visuals of Janpat road and the Janpat metro station the road which leads to Jantar Mantar that was
05:19heavily
05:20barricaded in the morning as well so all of them are still watching towards that place are there any

07:04exactly leads Jantar Mantar as we have learned is where they're all headed toward and that's where the

07:15that happened yesterday but for now they're all ready with the protect with the posters they're all ready
07:22with the Indian flags all of the political leaders seem to have had a fruitful conversation at Sagar Ratna
