Arunachal Congress Demands Election Commissioner's Resignation

Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh Congress workers hit the streets of Itanagar on September 25. They marched near Nirvachan Bhawan to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The demonstration was part of a broader nationwide push by the party. Protestors chanted slogans against the Election Commission while slamming the ongoing Special Intensive Revision exercise.

The party wants an immediate stop to the roll revision process. They are pushing for an independent inquiry into how electoral rolls are prepared and revised. Officials confirmed the gathering stayed peaceful with no reported violence. The state unit insists on pausing all upcoming elections until their proposed investigation wraps up.

Congress leaders are escalating the pressure. They requested that "all files related to the SIR exercise be placed in the custody of the Supreme Court." Beyond just resigning, the party is calling for criminal proceedings against Kumar. They want the records locked down until the situation is resolved.
