Anti-Modi protest held outside Indian High Commission in London

Protesters gathered outside the Indian High Commission in London on Friday, 16 October, in a demonstration against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government, calling for greater transparency and accountability in India’s electoral system.

The protest was organised by the Students’ Federation of India (SFI UK). Demonstrators raised concerns about the role of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and demanded an end to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

The protesters voiced their opposition to the Modi government’s handling of electoral affairs, placing the spotlight on concerns surrounding the transparency of India’s democratic processes.

The demonstration took place outside India House in Aldwych, central London, where Metropolitan Police officers were present to maintain public order.

The protest brought the demonstrators’ demands over electoral transparency and accountability to the attention of the Indian diplomatic mission in the United Kingdom.
