The Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) announces a nationwide protest starting on October 2 if Election Commission of India Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar does not resign. The political campaign says the agitation will begin in Mumbai and then expand to other cities, with founder Abhijeet Dipke making the announcement.

The CJP frames its demand around allegations concerning electoral processes, including the SIR exercise. NDTV reports that the Election Commission rejects claims of manipulation related to these allegations. While both outlets focus on the same protest timeline and resignation condition, they differ mainly in the emphasis they place on the proposed geographic rollout and the specific references to what the election body has denied.
