It is wildfire. Gyanba Uncle cannot escape being unseated from his seat. #SupremeCourtMarch #DelhiـPolice #Mumbai The Quint (@TheQuint) Mumbai's Shivaji Park witnessed another massive show of resistance on Monday, 12 October, as hundreds of protesters gathered to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over allegations of electoral roll irregularities and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. Around 1,000 supporters of the Shiv Sena (UBT), Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) and Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) gathered at the iconic ground in Dadar, turning what was initially planned as a silent demonstration into a protest marked by slogans of “azadi” and demands for the CEC's resignation. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray, accompanied by his brother Tejas Thackeray, led a demonstration with party workers wearing black ribbons across their mouths. MNS chief Raj Thackeray also participated in a signature campaign demanding Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. The gathering came a day after Mumbai Police detained around 300 protesters near Shivaji Park on Sunday, prompting Aaditya Thackeray and MNS leader Amit Thackeray to stage a sit-in demanding their release. On Monday, Mumbai Police also registered an FIR against the Thackeray cousins and several others in connection with Sunday's protest. Despite the police deployment and barricading around Shivaji Park, protesters continued their demonstration, with opposition leaders vowing to sustain the agitation until the Chief Election Commissioner steps down. The protests in Mumbai are part of a wider agitation against the Election Commission, with demonstrations also taking place in Delhi and other parts of the country.
