Police break up Indian opposition protest demanding election chief resign
Original: Police break up Indian opposition protest seeking resignation of election chief @sightmagazine #India #NewDelhi #Indiapr
Police in New Delhi broke up a protest by India's opposition, whose leaders including Rahul Gandhi are demanding the resignation of Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The opposition accuses the election body of bias in favour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP; the commission and the government reject the allegations, and the confrontation has heightened tensions over the independence of India's election machinery.
Why now: Fresh clashes between police and opposition protesters in the capital have put the dispute over the Election Commission's credibility back in the spotlight.
