Parliament monsoon session | Police block opposition MPs’ march to Election Commission headquarters
New Delhi: Delhi Police on Monday stopped opposition Members of Parliament, including Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, from marching to the Election Commission of India’s headquarters.
The protest march was organised to condemn alleged voter fraud and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls in Bihar. Opposition MPs began their march from Parliament’s Makar Gate towards the Election Commission office but were met with police barricades.
Some MPs reportedly climbed over the barricades in an attempt to move forward before being stopped by the police.

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
