Delhi Women Safety in Spotlight as Supreme Court Flags Law Enforcement Failures

Opposition parties led by the Congress staged nationwide protests against the Special Intensive Revision process of electoral rolls, demanding action against the Chief Election Commissioner. Demonstrations across multiple cities, including Delhi, Jaipur, Srinagar, and Hyderabad, witnessed water cannons and barricades deployed by security forces as Indian Youth Congress workers marched towards the Election Commission headquarters.

Protesters carried placards alleging vote theft and compromised democratic processes. The Bharatiya Janata Party accused opposition parties of misleading voters, while the Congress alleged that the ruling dispensation is shielding the election panel chief. Amid escalating political confrontations, an India bloc meeting and potential street mobilization are being considered by the opposition leadership. Meanwhile, the Election Commission maintained that decisions regarding the revision orders were taken unanimously across all states and Union Territories without dissent, even as clarifications failed to diffuse political tensions.
