Delhi Police detained around 150 protesters on October 3 for a second day as demonstrations continued seeking the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, The Hindu reported.
Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi launched a digital platform called Satyagraha to map what he described as resistance movements. Opposition leaders, civil society activists and youth organisations have joined the protests.
The Hindu's October 4 morning digest led with the detentions. This brief does not adopt the protesters' allegations about the Election Commission as established fact; it reports the protest and the police response.
A separate diplomatic dispute, over Border Security Force killings of two men Pakistan called unarmed civilians, was also in the same digest and is not folded into this event.
No court order removing the commissioner was reported in the account used here.
