Congress slams government over mass detentions during anti-SIR protests

Congress Party leaders have condemned the government's mass detentions during protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar in Delhi. They assert that numerous individuals, including activists and students, were detained while attempting to voice dissent against government policies.

The party emphasized the right to protest as fundamental to democratic functioning and criticized what it described as a heavy-handed approach by authorities. Congress leaders argued that suppressing public demonstration undermines democratic values and freedom of expression.

The detentions occurred amid large-scale protests that took place in the national capital, drawing participation from various activist groups and student organizations.
