CEC Row Escalates as CJP Leaders Accuse Government of Imposing an Emergency-Like Clampdown; Dipke Says Protest Must Continue Even if He Is Detained
Leaders of the CJP have accused the government of imposing an Emergency-style atmosphere as tensions over the CEC row intensified in New Delhi on Thursday. The dispute has sharpened after the Ministry of Home Affairs approved a temporary suspension of internet services within a 4-kilometre radius of the Janpath–Kartavya Path crossing from 10 p.m. on October 9 to 10 p.m. on October 10, a move likely to heighten scrutiny of public order and protest management in the capital.
