‘Gyanesh Kumar must go’: Opposition MPs march to Election Commission, meet barricades instead

Opposition MPs marched from Parliament on Tuesday to demand Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, and ended up in a standoff with Delhi Police that saw Rahul Gandhi climb a barricade waving the Tricolour.

The march, which set off from the gates of Parliament towards the Election Commission office near Akashvani Bhawan, was stopped by police before it got there. The MPs sat down in front of the barricades and began raising slogans against the Commission. When police started detaining them and putting them into a bus, Gandhi climbed onto the barricades, and MPs from the Congress and other opposition parties followed.
