ECI Rejects Opposition MPs' Demand for Parliament Annexe Meeting
On October 6, 2026, during an over eight-hour dharna led by Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and the INDIA bloc, the Election Commission of India (ECI) rejected the Opposition's demand for a meeting at a venue outside ECI premises, calling it unusual and unacceptable. The ECI offered to send its senior-most officer to receive the MPs' memorandum, but this was declined. Gandhi was detained during the protest at Akashvani, New Delhi.
