The Freedom of Speech and Fundamental Right to Protest Against CEC Gyanesh Kumar Got Stifled by Police Clamp Down, Shut Down of Internet

THE heavy handed and oppressive measures taken against protesters on October 10 demanding CEC Gyanesh Kumars resignation gave an impression that those operating Indian State apparatus waged a war against We the People. To deal with the call of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) to protest in Delhi on 10 th October asking Kumar to quit office, Delhi police turned the national capital city into a fortress by deploying more than 50,000 security forces to prevent people to exercise their constitutionally guaranteed fundamental right to assemble without arms and peacefully protest. Apart from the deployment of massive police and paramilitary personnel and placement of barricades on several routes and big iron nails on several key roads, the Government of India cancelled rail services to Delhi, shut down 45 metro stations in the city, blocked internet services and people in large numbers were detained. Shutting Down Internet Violates Fundamental Right It is salutary to recall that the Supreme Court in January 2020 ruled that Freedom of speech and expression includes the right to internet within Article 19. So the sweeping police clamp down to prevent people from protesting and the suspension of internet services have deprived people of their fundamental rights. Abhijit Dipke, chief of CJP and two of its leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das were detained by Delhi police and taken into custody from inside the aircraft on their arrival at Delhi airport. It was reported by media that through the day on 10 th October around 7,000 people were detained across Delhi following the imposition of citywide lockdown and massive crackdown to foil the leaders of Cockroach Janata Party and students affiliated to left parties to protest. Successful July Protest Scared The Regime In July this year the determined protests of CJP and left organisations at Jantar Mantar against the NEET exam paper elicited unprecedented participation of public disregarding brutal police action, including firing of pellet guns at protestors, and it culminated in the fulfilment of their demand when Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned. Keeping in mind that huge and successful protest the Delhi police and Union Government shut down the city even before the protests could begin this time. Prominent among thousands detained by Delhi police were Ex-Chief Ministers Mamata Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal and Pinarayi Vijayan and Manik Sarkar. Such extreme measures taken to lock down the city and take coercive measures were not even taken during emergency imposed during June 1975 and March 1977 by Indira Gandhi Government. Eruption of Protests Disregarding Clamp Down In spite of such a muscular approach adopted by the Union Government and Delhi police, protests erupted in several places close to Jantar Mantar. Such dogged determination of young protestors to cross police hurdles and come to sites, one or two kilometres away from Jantar Mantar, to organise flash protests demanding Gyanesh Kumars resignation stunned the personnel of security forces. When Neha Vora of AISA and a student of JNU gathered at Delhi Hatt and INA to organise protests demanding Kumars resignation and scrapping of SIR she told the sizeable gathering, Isko Jantar Mantar Bana Dete Hain, Let us make it Jantar Mantar. The protestors cheered and shouted slogans asking Kumar to quit. As the protestors marched ahead and organised their protest on SafdarJung Airport fly over it signalled the message that the undying spirit of youth to exercise their constitutional right to protest remained undimmed. Even though eventually they were detained by police, protests erupted in several other parts of Delhi. Popping up of protests across the city testified to the resolve of Gen Z that they would uphold the Constitution come what may. Protests to Continue The CJP leadership and left parties have announced that protests would continue every day beginning from October 11. The detained CJP leaders Abhijit Dipke, Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das were released on October 11, on the orders of the Executive Magistrate from Delhi Cantt Police station. A bail bond as Surety Bond of Rs 50,000 was filled for maintaining peace and good behaviour, for a period of one year, and they were released by the SEM Court, the police said in the statement. Ajinkya Shinde, its national organisation in-charge, said, The government must have thought we will return home after the detentions today. This fear on the part of Modi, Shah shows we have won half the fight. Impactful YouTube content creator and influencer Dhruv Rathee was also taken away by police from his Gurgaon residence and he said that he was kidnapped, not detained or arrested. CJP Leaders are reported to have said, Modi as PM is an 'Embarrassment to India', CEC a 'Traitor.' Over 200 NLSIU Alumni in a statement posted at X condemned police action taken against protestors on October 10 including the detention and physical manhandling of NLSIU alumni and Senior Advocate Shadan Farasat, https://x.com/LiveLawIndia/status/2109172425027981375 . The state cannot arbitrarily detain even during an Emergency those who are exercising these rights in the manner seen when over 10,000 people have reportedly been detained across the country SC Notice and Order Meanwhile the Supreme Court issued notice to Delhi police, Centre in contempt of court plea and sought reply notice by Tuesday and ordered that in interim ensure free and safe movement of lawyers, journalists, and other professionals. It also directed that public movement should be ensured subject to public order and internet connection should be available undisturbed. Among others, SC also directed: Subject to public order review positioning of barricades keeping in mind safety and smooth movement of people; there should not be illegal detention particularly beyond the area where section 163 BNSS is imposed; take down 163 BNSS notice from around supreme court or any other court of lawso there is no apprehensions with regards access to justice. Thankfully on October 11 the Supreme Court ordered that there should be no illegal detention of those assembling peacefully added that the restrictions on public assembly and movement must comply with the conditions laid down under Article 19(2) of the Constitution, which permits reasonable restrictions on freedom of speech and expression on specified grounds, including public order. Fierce Determination to Protest The determination of protectors to protest by following the constitutional mandate enshrined in the chapter on fundamental rights clearly prohibiting the State not to encroach the freedom of people has to be treated as sacrosanct. None can violate it, no third degree repression on the part of the State controlled by Modi regime can deter people to uphold the Constitution and its mandate to protest and exercise freedom of speech. In this context it is worth recalling what Mahatma Gandhi wrote in his article, An Appeal for Peace, published in the Harijan on February 23, 1934. None but tyrants, he remarked, are reported by history to have succeeded in enforcing their will against all others, and that they did to their own utter destruction. Today the people of India specially the youth are steeled with courage and given their resolve to save the Constitution the raw police and penal measures, representing the will of the tyrant, to repress them and muzzle their spirit would fail. The cautionary words of Gandhi uttered in 1934 assume greater relevance for the rulers India of 2026. Ground Zero return home afterthe detentions today. This fear on the part of Modi, Shah shows we have won half the fight There is country wide convulsions on account of the implementation of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and the resultant mass scale removal of approximately of 20 crore people from the voter list in twenty one States . The flawed and opaque manner of preparation of voter list leading to erasure of millions of voters from it remind Mahatma Gandhis sarcastic statement of September 17, 1931in the Federal Structure Committee in the Round Table Conference in London that he knew how voters list was prepared in Durban in 1896. He recalled that his name got registered in the voter list in 1896 even though he never took the initiative to enrol himself as a voter. Gandhi while emphasising the significance of adult suffrage for everyone regardless of gender, religion, caste, or economic status revealed in that Round Table Conference that the person who informed him about his name figuring as voter actually sought his vote and so he remarked,since then,I have knownthat is howvoters listsareprepared. Fast forward to 2026. Ritika Chopras rigorous investigative journalism exposed in Indian Express the egregious violations of Constitution and law by Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar in implementing SIR which struck of millions and millions of names from the voter list. Vast numbers of people deprived of their voting rights mandated by the Constitution constitutes a fatal attack paralysing their capacity to elect their representatives, form the Government of their choice and hold it to account. Ninety-five years onJune 18, 1931, Gandhi wrote in Young India that One form of direct action is adult suffrage. The second and more potent form is Satyagraha. He located the import of adult suffrage as an aspect of Poorna Swaraj, complete independence, and insightfully remarked that it empowers people to exercise their right to vote for directly acting upon the powers that be. So, striking off the names of crores voters from the electoral roll following the implementation of SIR have tragically resulted in smashing the ability of the people to engage in direct action upon the powers that be. It is because the right to vote is taken away from millions of people there is outrage across the country and so people, opposition parties and youth of India are now opting for Satyagraha, which in the words of Gandhi constituted a more potent for direct action upon those vested with power. Massive protests have been taking place across the country right since 2 nd October this year, Mahatma Gandhis birth anniversary, against the manipulations of electoral roll by Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and deprivation of voting rights to teeming millions. It has brought to light deep resentment of people and their outrage against Gyanesh Kumar whose resignation as Chief Election Commissioner. They are strenuously exerting themselves to defend the precious right to vote. Recently Justice Ujjwal Bhuyan famously said in his speech at NALSAR, Hyderabad, that implementation of universal adult suffragerepresented . an act of faith for our founding fathers in the common man of India and in his pragmatism and wisdom. It was, he thoughtfully remarked, the first step taken to achieve equality in India. The striking off the names of voters combined with the ECI unilaterally controlling the software to enrol and delete voters disregarding the statutes mandating Electoral Registration officers of States has bewildered people and Gandhis 1896 sarcastic statement that is howvoters listsareprepared, is playing out in the minds of protestors to salvage our democracy and restore the constitutionally mandated independence of the Election Commission of India.

Rajasthan records decline in crime; offences against women, children also fall

Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 9 (IANS) Rajasthan has recorded a decline in the total number of registered criminal cases during the first nine months of 2026, with reductions reported in murder, attempted murder, property-related offences and several crimes against women and children, according to state police data. The figures for January to September 2026 indicate a reduction in overall cases compared with the corresponding period in 2025. Meanwhile, registrations under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, the Arms Act and the Excise Act have increased, which the police attribute to intensified enforcement. Rajasthan Police said crime prevention, prompt action and public safety remain key priorities, with particular emphasis on women's safety. According to departmental data, 147,534 cases were registered under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) up to September 2025, compared with 145,781 during the corresponding period in 2026. This represents a decline of 1,753 cases. The data also shows 23 fewer murder cases and 174 fewer attempted murder cases compared with the previous year. Rajasthan has also reported reductions in several property-related offences during the period under review. Dacoity declined by 19.67 per cent, robbery by 16.40 per cent and burglary by 4.63 per cent. Police officials said surveillance, regular patrolling and targeted enforcement measures are being used to prevent and control crime. Cases registered under local and special laws rose from 65,753 in 2025 to 70,035 in 2026, an increase of 4,282 cases. According to the police, the increase reflects intensified enforcement and action under the relevant laws. The reported increases include: NDPS Act: 1,815 additional cases, up 35.13 per cent. Arms Act: 538 additional cases, up 10.17 per cent. Excise Act: 908 additional cases, up 4.92 per cent. The figures indicate an increase in cases registered under these laws, although registration numbers alone do not establish the extent of the underlying offences. Cases registered under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act declined by 954 compared with the corresponding period last year, marking a reported reduction of 15.47 per cent. The police data also records a decline in several offences involving women and children. POCSO Act cases declined by 478, or 19.20 per cent, rape cases by 356, or 7.96 per cent, and molestation cases by 603, or 7.38 per cent. The Rajasthan Police has highlighted initiatives such as Kalika Units, Anti-Romeo Squads and other women's safety programmes as part of its efforts to prevent harassment and improve women's security. Cases involving domestic abuse, dowry demands and other family-related disputes increased from 9,979 in 2025 to 10,562 in 2026, according to departmental figures. The police said greater public awareness and women's willingness to report abuse and seek assistance may be contributing to the rise in registrations. To support women facing domestic violence and family disputes, Women's Safety and Counselling Centres are operating at one police station in each police circle, providing assistance and counselling. The state government and Rajasthan Police Headquarters have reiterated their commitment to preventing crimes against women and ensuring timely assistance to victims. Police officials said the focus extends beyond crime prevention to include prompt responses to complaints, effective investigations and legal action against those found responsible. While the latest figures show a decline in several categories of registered offences, the increase in cases under special laws and in domestic and family-related complaints highlights the importance of continued enforcement, public awareness and access to support services.

'BJP winning despite Rahul Gandhi's lies and disinformation': HM Amit Shah on party's bypoll victories

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 9 (IANS) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday hailed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s performance in the Lok Sabha and Assembly bye-elections, saying that the party is winning every election despite the lies and disinformation campaigns of the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and the INDIA bloc. In Nagaon Parliamentary constituency bye-election in Assam, Devasish Sharma of the BJP beat Mohammed Badruddin Ajmal of the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF). In Nandigram Assembly constituency bye-election in West Bengal, Hasi Rani Rath of the BJP beat the nearest Congress rival Milan Pradhan. In Rejinagar bye-election in West Bengal, Shankharavh Sarkar of the BJP beat Golam Nabi Azad of the Aam Janata Unnayan Party. Meanwhile, NDA ally, AINRC, won the Thattanchavady bypoll in Puducherry. In a post on social media platform X, Union Minister Amit Shah said: The BJP, under the leadership of PM @narendramodi Ji, continues to win elections one after another despite the lies and disinformation campaigns run by Rahul Gandhi and the INDI Alliance. The NDA's victories in the bye-elections in West Bengal, Assam and Puducherry, and the recently held local body polls in Rajasthan and Tripura, demonstrate that the people have completely rejected the INDI Alliance. Having lost their public support, these (Opposition) parties question institutions after every defeat, but the people have recognised their true character. This is why the people have once again delivered a thumping mandate, reaffirming their unwavering faith in the BJP, Union Minister Shah added. The Union Home Minister congratulated the West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, Rajasthan CM Bhajan Lal Sharma, Tripura CM Manik Saha and Puducherry CM N. Rangasamy, along with all the state presidents and dedicated BJP workers. Terming the victories as spectacular, BJP President Nitin Nabin said that it has once again proven that the people of the country stand firmly with the politics of development and good governance under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Those who were trying to mislead the countrymen have once again been given a resounding response by the people through their votes, Nabin said on X while hitting out at the Opposition. Madhya Pradesh Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya said on X: Heartiest congratulations and best wishes to all the victorious candidates on the victory of BJP-NDA in the Assembly bye-elections of West Bengal and Puducherry, and the Lok Sabha bye-election in Assam. This support from the people reflects the trust in the progress of the country, good governance, and public service under the leadership of the honorable Prime Minister @narendramodi ji, he said, adding that this public support will further strengthen the resolve for a developed India. Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath congratulated the eight BJP Rajya Sabha candidates of the state for winning unopposed. I have full confidence that you all will make a significant contribution in realising the resolve of our esteemed Prime Minister @narendramodi ji for 'Developed India' and in giving new momentum to the nation's progress. At the same time, you will enhance the dignity of the Upper House, he said in a post on X. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta echoed, saying: The unanimous election of BJP's eight Rajya Sabha candidates in Uttar Pradesh, the NDA's victory in the Nagaon Lok Sabha constituency in Assam, Nandigram and Rejinagar Assembly constituencies in West Bengal, and the Thattanchavadi Assembly constituency in Puducherry are proof of the people's unwavering trust. In a post on X, CM Gupta referred to the victory as a esounding response to those anti-national forces who prioritise appeasement, dividing society, and pursuing political self-interest over the welfare of the people.
