India detains Cockroach Janta Party leaders, blocks Delhi protest

Indian authorities have implemented a widespread crackdown in New Delhi, detaining thousands of opposition leaders and protesters, including the founder of the 'Cockroach Janta Party' and opposition leader Rahul Gandhi. These actions are in response to planned mass demonstrations against the Election Commission and alleged irregularities in voter roll revisions, including the removal of 130 million names. The scale of detentions and police deployment indicates a significant government effort to suppress dissent ahead of upcoming elections, raising concerns about democratic processes and political stability.
