Congress leaders seek meeting with CJI over electoral roll revision
In short
Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge asked to meet CJI Surya Kant about the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and other demands. They were denied the meeting and now plan a protest, including Gandhi’s “March for Democracy” in the national capital.
