AAP leaders call protest at Jantar Mantar over EC and SIR
In short
AAP leaders Atishi and Sanjay Singh asked people to join a protest on October 2 at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar. The protest is about the Election Commission and the Special Intensive Revision of voter rolls. Police had not given permission and security was tightened.
