Activists of the CPI(M) and CPI staged a protest in Hassan on Saturday, demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and a halt to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, in the wake of recent reports suggesting unilateral decision-making by him with regard to the SIR process.

Left parties demand CEC Gyanesh Kumar’s removal, halt SIR, restore excluded voters’ rights, and protest nationwide while urging ECI reforms.
