Protesters in New Delhi carried a one-kilometre banner listing people removed from India’s voter rolls, as opposition groups prepared a large rally seeking the election chief’s resignation.
The demonstrations concern a voter-roll revision exercise. The BBC reported that protesters fear the process could leave 130 million voters off the rolls. Al Jazeera reported that the banner displayed names of people who had been removed.
The opposition’s planned rally is part of the growing protests over the revision exercise, according to the BBC.
