Congress says Delhi Police denied INDIA bloc mock impeachment venue
In short
Congress said Delhi Police did not allow the INDIA bloc to hold a mock impeachment session against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar at two places. The party is now looking at other options, including Mallikarjun Kharge’s home.
This matters because the opposition wants to stage a public protest before its November 1 rally. The report does not say whether a new venue has been approved.
