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.
