On Monday morning, two top Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were detained in the Indian capital Delhi. They were detained by the Delhi Police while they were taking out a protest march towards the Election Commission office.
The protesters raised serious questions about the impartiality of the Election Commission and alleged that the election process was not fair and transparent. The march led by Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi is being seen as a direct protest against the steps and activities of the Election Commission.
According to the police, such measures have been taken to maintain peace and order due to public gatherings and road blockades. However, the Congress party has termed this detention as creating political pressure and an attack on democracy.
This incident has further intensified the political atmosphere amidst the ongoing election tension. Political analysts believe that the election process and conflict between parties may become more heated in the coming days.
The controversy over the impartiality of the Election Commission has had a profound impact on the country's political circles, with opposition parties highlighting such incidents on a large scale. There has been no response from the Election Commission on this matter yet.
