Indian opposition parties marched to the Supreme Court to demand the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner, amid ongoing protests across India. The demonstrations are taking place alongside widespread detentions, which the Supreme Court has itself judged to be illegal. The opposition says the election body's leadership has lost legitimacy, and the court's remarks on unlawful detentions have added fuel to the confrontation with the government.

Why now: The Supreme Court's ruling that the detentions are illegal has intensified attention on the opposition's march and the demand for the CEC to step down.
