印度反对党领导人游行至最高法院要求选举委员会主任下台

印度反对党领导人周一游行至最高法院，要求选举委员会主任詹亚尼什·库马尔辞职。1反对党指控库马尔操纵选民名单，以帮助总理莫迪所领导的印度人民党。1国大党主席拉胡尔·甘地呼吁"所有反对党、民间社会团体和所有相信民主的人"参加这场游行。1

最高法院首席大法官苏里亚·坎特拒绝了与反对党领导人的会面，但要求他们提交请愿书，表示将通过司法程序处理相关诉求。1反对党领导人计划在游行结束后递交请愿书。1

德里当局为应对游行部署了重兵并实施交通限制。1过去一周，德里警方对反对党领导人进行了多次短暂拘留。1周末计划的游行遭到阻止，地铁列车被取消、数十个地铁站关闭，数万名警察和准军事人员上路拘留抗议者。1无国界记者组织谴责至少16名印度记者遭拘留。1

对此，印度人民党主席尼廷·纳宾指责反对党试图"代表外国势力"破坏印度稳定。1

Opposition party leaders marched to India's Supreme Court on Monday to call for the resignation of election commission chief Janyesh Kumar, accusing him of manipulating voter lists to benefit Prime Minister Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party 1. The demonstration was preceded by significant security measures, with Delhi authorities deploying heavy police and paramilitary forces, restricting metro services by canceling train operations and shutting down dozens of stations 1.

National Congress Party president Rahul Gandhi urged "all opposition parties, civil society groups and all those who believe in democracy" to join the march 1. When opposition leaders approached the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Surya Kant declined to meet with them directly but instructed them to file a petition through proper judicial procedures, which they planned to do following the march 1. Over the past week, Delhi police had conducted multiple brief detentions of opposition leaders 1.

The government has pushed back against the protests, with BJP president Nitin Nabin accusing the opposition and critics of attempting to "represent foreign interests" and destabilize India 1. International attention has focused on press freedom concerns, with Reporters Without Borders condemning the detention of at least 16 Indian journalists during the unrest 1.
