History

Historical Context

During December 2019, Delhi Police, acting on Home Minister Amit Shah’s orders, arrested roughly 1,200 anti-CAA protesters, prompting a Supreme Court intervention that curbed police powers. The 2024 detention of CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and renewed calls for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation echo that earlier crackdown, reviving fears over electoral accountability.
