Rahul Gandhi briefly detained amid protests over voter list removals
Original: gandhi
Rahul Gandhi, a leader of India's opposition Congress party, was briefly detained in India as protests grew over the removal of around 130 million names from the country's voter lists. The detentions came as demonstrations intensified over the electoral rolls revision, which opposition parties say could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters ahead of future elections.
Why now: The brief detention of a major opposition leader during escalating protests over mass voter list removals is drawing national and international attention.
