Opposition Demands CEC Gyanesh Kumar's Arrest, SIR Halt

Opposition parties demanded CEC Gyanesh Kumar's removal and arrest after a report claimed Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi objected 14 times in 10 months over SIR decisions taken without their knowledge. Rahul Gandhi called it "treason." Congress, CPI(M), TMC, AAP and Shiv Sena (UBT) demanded the SIR be cancelled.
