India's supreme court has issued notices over the removal of millions from electoral rolls.
India's supreme court has demanded accountability from the government and the election body over a large-scale revision of voter lists that has led to the deletion of tens of millions of voters from the electoral roll. The government, the Election Commission of India and its head, Gyanesh Kumar, have been issued notices. Demonstrations have erupted across the country as opposition parties, student groups and the youth-led Cockroach movement have demanded the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar over the alleged unilateral decisions related to the revision of voter lists.
