Summary

The Madhya Pradesh unit of the Congress staged a protest outside the Election Commission's office in Bhopal against the detention of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who were detained during an opposition demonstration in New Delhi. The protest was led by State Congress president Jitu Patwari and Leader of Opposition in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly Umang Singhar, and included MLAs, party office-bearers, and workers. Congress workers burned an effigy of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and raised slogans against the Election Commission. Patwari announced that the party would burn effigies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Gyanesh Kumar in every district of the state. The protest was part of a broader 'Save Democracy' campaign by the opposition against the Election Commission of India, aimed at defending democratic rights and the impartiality of constitutional institutions.
