As CJP protesters challenge Gyanesh Kumar over voter-roll revisions, a reel contrasts today’s detentions with Vajpayee’s bullock-cart protest and dissent under earlier prime ministers.

Journalist Harsh showed his press card during Delhi’s 2 October protest detentions — what the incident says about reporting rights

A 2 October 2026 reel identifies journalist Harsh as he repeatedly refers to his press card during police action near Jantar Mantar.

Protester says Gyanesh Kumar should be jailed: What election-law protections, voter-roll disputes and protest detentions actually show

A September 2026 protest clip accuses Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of escaping accountability while critics face action. India's 2023 law does protect commissioners over official acts, but allegations of vote theft are not proven by the speech. Appointment rules, voter-roll challenges and protest arrests reveal the wider accountability test.
