The INDIA bloc is planning a “public impeachment” event targeting Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s residence in New Delhi on October 30, ahead of a larger INDIA bloc rally on November 1.
Multiple outlets report that the INDIA bloc says the programme will act as a “curtain raiser,” and that the proceedings will be presided over by former Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar. They add that Mallikarjun Kharge is set to move a motion and that Rahul Ganshi is expected to speak at the end. Coverage also includes Congress statements that venue or permission restrictions have been raised, alongside references to police involvement and officials saying no specific request for a mock impeachment has been received.
While most outlets describe the planned venue, date and basic structure of the event, they differ in emphasis: some lead with the schedule and location, while others foreground the dispute over permissions and the potential for an alternative location if hurdles continue. One outlet also frames the event as linked to the “vote chori” allegation mentioned in the run-up to the November 1 rally.
