Many trains cancelled

Pune, Maharashtra: Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut says, "... a large number of youths and members of various organisations were supposed to reach Delhi today, but trains have been stopped, people have been detained, and Delhi's borders sealed... Forces have been called from J&K and have been deployed across Delhi... But this is a people's protest, and you cannot silence the voice of the people." Dhaula Kuan, Delhi: DCP Kumar Abhishek says, "In view of the protest announced in New Delhi today, preventive checks have been implemented here. Female staff are present, and we are checking all vehicles. Extensive arrangements have been made to ensure that public order is not disrupted, and a short while ago, we detained some individuals who were planning to participate in today's protest... These arrangements are ongoing; the operation has been continuous since last night and will remain in effect throughout the day." Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh: On the security restrictions in Delhi ahead of the CJP protest, UP Congress President Aradhana Mishra Mona says, "This reflects a thoroughly frightened BJP. The country's Constitution grants every political party, organization, and individual the right to protest and voice their views. However, the atmosphere created in the country today-with trains being cancelled, vehicles stopped at toll plazas, and people being detained-amounts to an attempt to murder democracy... They (the BJP) now realize that their countdown has begun; they are not going to remain in power." Regarding the Congress party's participation in the CJP protest, she says, "Today, Rahul Gandhi is attending a pre-scheduled event titled 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' in Chennai, and the entire leadership will be present at that program." Delhi Police has put restrictions on app-based taxis, cabs in Delhi-NCR.

Gyanesh Kumar will go, this government will go: Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar will go and so will the Modi government, and then the repair of democracy will begin.

Delhi: BJP president Nitin Nabin says

"Over the past 12 years, under the Prime Minister's leadership, we have worked to eliminate terrorism and free the country from Naxalism. However, some people with an Urban Naxal mindset are still trying to destabilise the country. Rahul Gandhi, your plans will never succeed. The language used by Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal, INDI alliance leaders and the so-called young leadership of the CJP will not be accepted by the people of India, who are committed to Indian culture, democracy and the Constitution. Attempts to challenge constitutional institutions, undermine democracy and insult people holding the country's highest constitutional offices will not be tolerated. Those relying on foreign powers to destabilise India will never succeed. Challenging democracy in the name of the Constitution and insulting the people's mandate are unacceptable. Repeated electoral defeats in various states reflect your frustration, and you do not want the country to progress peacefully."
