By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Defimedia
The Indian movement “Cockroach” has threatened nationwide protests unless the head of the Election Commission leaves office. The report provides no further details about its demands, timetable or the identity of the official targeted, according to Defimedia.
Leaders of the Indian youth movement Cockroach have given Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar 48 hours to resign, or they will organise protests across the country, according to Reuters, citing an article in The Indian Express.
The warning comes after reports of disagreements within India’s Election Commission over the revision of electoral rolls. Two election commissioners expressed reservations or raised questions with Gyanesh Kumar at least 14 times in ten months, according to The Indian Express, as cited by Reuters.
