Opposition parties will march to the Supreme Court on Monday over alleged electoral irregularities. Ahead of the march, CJI Surya Kant rejected Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge’s request for a meeting to submit a memorandum.
Opposition parties are set to march to the Supreme Court on Monday against the alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The Congress called it “Chalo Delhi – March for Democracy” and said they would converge at 1.30 PM at Connaught Place-Barakhamba Road junction. Ahead of the planned march, Chief Justice of India Surya Kant has not agreed to meet the Opposition leaders. Leaders of the Opposition in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha — Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge — had written to the CJI for a meeting with him between 4 and 5 PM on Monday to hand over a memorandum, demanding an end to ‘vote chori’, CEC Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation, halting of SIR and switching back to paper ballot.
CJI Says No Meeting With LoPs On Monday
According to sources, the CJI has denied the request for a meeting on Monday. “Response of Hon’ble CJI to the letter received from Leaders of Opposition has been sent in their official mail,” a source told Times Now.
The CJI’s office cited the matter’s pendency before the Supreme Court on the judicial side, with CJI Surya Kant himself heading the Bench hearing it, they said. The office also conveyed that no directions could be issued following an administrative meeting on the issue.
The sources said Gandhi and Kharge could approach the court by filing a petition if they wished to be heard on the matter.
Opposition Announces ‘Chalo Delhi’ March
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said that the march to the Supreme Court would be by Indians united beyond parties, gender, caste, community and state. “Yesterday, the nation’s young came out in Delhi to peacefully protest. They came with love in their hearts, not hatred or anger. They were beaten, both by cops and BJP goons. This is not the India we want.”
Yesterday, the nation’s young came out in Delhi to peacefully protest. They came with love in their hearts, not hatred or anger. They were beaten, both by cops and BJP goons.
This is not the India we want.
Tomorrow, we will march to the Supreme Court as Indians, united beyond party, gender, caste, community and state.
Youth, all opposition parties, civil society groups, all those who believe in democracy and stand by the Constitution of India, will walk with us.
We will submit a memorandum to the Chief Justice on behalf of the nation, demanding an end to vote chori, halting of SIR and the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar.
Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Ajit Doval and Mohan Bhagwat cannot silence India’s voice. These cowards cannot intimidate us. They will have to step aside.
We will march together, with love, brotherhood and patriotism.
Daro mat.
Tomorrow, all of India will march to the Supreme Court.
कल दिल्ली में देश का युवा शांतिपूर्ण विरोध के लिए सड़कों पर उतरा। उनके दिलों में नफ़रत या गुस्सा नहीं, मोहब्बत थी। लेकिन उन्हें पुलिस और BJP के गुंडों, दोनों ने पीटा।
ऐसा भारत हम नहीं चाहते।
कल, सोमवार 12 अक्टूबर को, हम भारतीय होने के नाते सुप्रीम कोर्ट तक मार्च करेंगे। पार्टी, महिला-पुरुष, जाति, समुदाय और राज्य की हर दीवार से ऊपर उठकर, हम सब एक साथ चलेंगे।
देश का युवा, तमाम विपक्षी दल, सिविल सोसाइटी और लोकतंत्र में विश्वास रखने वाले, भारत के संविधान के साथ खड़े सभी लोग हमारे साथ चलेंगे।
हम देश की ओर से मुख्य न्यायाधीश को एक ज्ञापन सौंपेंगे। हमारी माँग है – वोट चोरी बंद हो, SIR पर रोक लगे और ज्ञानेश कुमार इस्तीफ़ा दें।
नरेंद्र मोदी, अमित शाह, अजित डोभाल और मोहन भागवत भारत की आवाज़ को दबा नहीं सकते। ये कायर हमें डरा नहीं सकते। इन्हें पीछे हटना ही होगा।
हम सब साथ चलेंगे – मोहब्बत, भाईचारे और देशभक्ति के साथ।डरो मत।
कल पूरा भारत सुप्रीम कोर्ट तक मार्च करेगा।
