In India, thousands of protesters marched in New Delhi, called by the opposition alliance led by Rahul Gandhi, to maintain pressure on the election commission.
This protest movement, ongoing since early October, follows the removal of 130 million voters from the electoral rolls. The opposition accuses the election commission of bias, believing it favors the ruling party, Narendra Modi’s BJP.
Protesters particularly denounce the targeted exclusion of minorities, especially Muslims, as well as the most vulnerable populations, fueling political tensions in the country.
