After Jantar Mantar denotified as protest site, Congress says ‘panic has gripped Modi-Shah’

What happened: Delhi's police commissioner denotified Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site on October 11, naming Ramlila Ground, Burari Ground and CBD Ground as alternatives. Congress and other parties criticised the move. Key numbers: Order issued October 11. Protests against Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar since October 2. 45 metro station gates closed. Why it matters: Opposition leaders called the order an attack on the right to protest and demanded Kumar's resignation. The government said the issue is the protest, not the site.
