    Protests in Tamil Nadu Demand CEC Resignation

    In Tamil Nadu, protests are ongoing, led by Left student and youth organizations, along with other democratic forces, calling for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. They blame him for deleting voters from electoral rolls under the Systematic Voter Verification and Elimination (SVEEP) program. Protesters demand the restoration of the Election Commission's autonomy and the withdrawal of the Act governing the CEC's appointment. They argue that the protests do not disrupt daily life or law and order but aim to protect parliamentary democracy, rule of law, and voting rights.
