Thousands join Mumbai protest demanding election commissioner's resignation

Original: cjp protests

More than 10,000 people gathered at Shivaji Park in Mumbai for a Citizens for Justice and Peace rally calling on Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to resign. Organiser Abhijeet Dipke warned of a larger 'Jantar Mantar 2.0' protest in Delhi on October 10 if Kumar does not step down, and criticised PM Modi directly. Speeches mixed satire and music, and reports cited repeated objections by two election commissioners to panel decisions.

Why now: A large, sharply worded anti-CEC protest and a threatened follow-up rally in Delhi have made the Election Commission the focus of political controversy.
