Congress, AAP, Left to march to Delhi CEO's office tomorrow
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 6 (IANS) The Congress, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), and Left parties are scheduled to stage a protest march to the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer's (CEO) office tomorrow at 1 p.m., according to party sources. AAP and the Left-wing parties will join the Congress in the ongoing street protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, with the joint march planned to proceed toward the CEO's office at Kashmere Gate, NDTV reported. Earlier on Tuesday, the INDIA bloc MPs launched a protest march towards the Election Commission of India (ECI) headquarters in New Delhi, demanding the resignation of the CEC. However, the opposition leaders were stopped by security personnel midway. Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi climbed police barricades and waved the tricolour as the security personnel stopped the INDIA bloc MPs from marching towards the Election Commission of India (ECI) headquarters. LoP Gandhi, along with his sister and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, were briefly detained by the police, TV channels reported. Speaking to reporters, Rahul Gandhi said around 300 MPs from both Houses of Parliament were stopped from meeting the Election Commission. He alleged that the MPs wanted to meet CEC Gyanesh Kumar and his two colleagues but were prevented from proceeding towards the Election Commission's office. The INDIA bloc leaders, including the Gandhis, then staged a sit-in at the Akashvani Bhavan, from where they were removed by police and detained on Tuesday night. The AAP and the DMK had stayed away from the INDIA bloc's protest on Tuesday. Last week, the Aam Aadmi Party and several left-wing student organisations, including SFI and AISA, staged a protest against the CEC at Jantar Mantar, with several being detained by the police. Meanwhile, the BJP has hit out at the Opposition's protest, with Union Minister Kiren Rijiju referring to it as drama. He urged the Congress and other opposition parties to stop their drama and selflessly serve the people if they wished to receive a mandate.
James Bond auction: Daniel Craig's Skyfall suit could fetch
Highlights Daniel Craig's grey Tom Ford suit from the Skyfall Istanbul chase has a pre-sale estimate of 20,000 to 40,000 in Propstore's online Bond auction The sale has about 400 lots and closes on October 27, with a No Time to Die dress and 14 Ian Fleming first editions among the top items A clapperboard from Octopussy , the first Bond film partly shot in India, is also on offer Amazon MGM has not announced who will play the next 007 The suit Most Bond fans can picture the moment. After riding a digger along a moving train, Craig's 007 jumps from the excavator into the wrecked carriage and calmly adjusts his cufflinks. The grey Tom Ford suit he wears through that Istanbul chase, the opening sequence of Skyfall (2012), is now expected to fetch 20,000 to 40,000. The lot includes the shirt, tie and cufflinks, and it is one of about 400 pieces in Propstore's James Bond auction, which ends on October 27. Top lots at a glance Lot Estimate Daniel Craig's grey Tom Ford suit, Skyfall (2012) 20,000 to 40,000 Ana de Armas's Paloma dress and sandals, No Time to Die (2021) 20,000 to 40,000 Complete set of 14 Jonathan Cape first-edition Ian Fleming Bond books 20,000 to 40,000 Dr. No (1962) British quad poster 8,000 to 16,000 Octopussy (1983) SFX model unit clapperboard 4,000 to 8,000 The Fleming set covers all 12 novels and two short-story collections, each rebound in leather and housed in a matching slipcase. The Dr. No poster arrives at a fitting moment. The film premiered at London's Pavilion cinema on October 5, 1962, the date fans now mark as Global James Bond Day, which fell this week. Bond has meant something to generations of film fans, said Propstore's Alastair McCrea, who curated the collection. The lot with an Indian story Look at the cheapest lot on the list and you find the one with an Indian story. Octopussy was the first Bond film shot partly in India. Roger Moore's 007 filmed in Udaipur in 1982, at locations including the Lake Palace, Jag Mandir and the Monsoon Palace. Tennis star Vijay Amritraj made his film debut as Bond's MI6 ally Vijay, greeting 007 at the water's edge by playing the Bond theme on a pungi. Kabir Bedi played the villain's bodyguard Gobinda, and has called himself the first Indian actor cast in a Bond film. Director John Glen has recalled that he hired a snake handler with pythons for Amritraj's Pinewood interview, after the tennis player admitted he was afraid of snakes. In Udaipur, the snakes bolted from the heat of the arc lights, and Amritraj joined the crew in grabbing them. One caution: the clapperboard is described as coming from the model unit used for miniature-effects sequences, and nothing in the listing ties it to the Udaipur shoot. Who will wear the next suit? Craig's suit goes on sale while the job he left is still unfilled. Amazon MGM says the search for the next Bond is underway, and producer Amy Pascal has called casting news by the end of 2026 a good bet. Denis Villeneuve is directing and Steven Knight is writing, with Amazon looking at a 2028 release. Jacob Elordi and Callum Turner are among the names most often linked, but no actor has been announced. One name keeps coming up on Eastern Eye's side of the conversation. Riz Ahmed pitched himself to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show in March. Traditionally, actors playing James Bond have not looked like me, he said, before joking about the height requirement and holding up a childhood photo. His Prime Video series Bait , released the same month, stars him as Shah Latif, a struggling British Pakistani actor who lands a Bond audition. Ahmed told Rolling Stone why the role carries such weight: We wait for new James Bonds like we wait for new monarchs. Eastern Eye has followed his campaign for the role and how Bait plays with the idea of an Asian 007 . The two deadlines now run side by side. The auction closes on October 27, and if Pascal's good bet pays off, the next 007 could be named before the year is out.
