数千名抗议者、学生组织和反对派议员于10月2日在新德里詹塔·曼塔广场集聚，对印度选举委员会主席詹亚内什·库马尔施压，要求其辞职1。警方在现场部署了大量安保力量，配备水炮和催泪弹，尽管目前尚未使用这些手段1。此次集会恰逢圣雄甘地诞辰纪念日1。
抗议的核心焦点是选举委员会因争议性的选民名单删除工作引发的国内政治风波1。超过1.3亿印度选民被从30个邦和地区的选民名单中删除1。反对派领导人指控库马尔按中央政府要求行动，违反了选举机构的独立性原则1。选举委员会内部也存在分歧，两名委员在过去10个月内对特别密集修订工作至少提出14次正式关切1。而印度人民党则声称被删除的选民主要包括已故选民和非法移民1。2023年莫迪政府修改了选举委员会主席的任命方式，赋予政府更大话语权1。
Thousands of demonstrators, including student organizations and opposition leaders, gathered at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on October 2 to call for the resignation of India's Election Commission chief Janyenesh Kumar1. The protest, which took place on the anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi's birth, was met with heightened police security, including water cannons and tear gas deployed around the demonstration site, though these measures had not yet been used1.
The underlying tensions stem from a controversial voter deletion campaign that has become a focal point of domestic dispute1. More than 1.3 billion Indian voters have been removed from draft electoral rolls across 30 states and territories1. Opposition leaders have accused Kumar of acting at the central government's behest and compromising the Election Commission's independence, while the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party contends that the deleted names primarily consist of deceased voters and undocumented immigrants1. Adding to concerns about institutional independence, the government modified the appointment process for the Election Commission chief in 2023, granting itself greater influence1. Additionally, two Election Commission members have filed at least 14 formal objections to the voter deletion work over the past ten months1.
