India Rejects UN Human Rights Office's Concerns Over Delhi CJP Protest, Calls Remarks 'Misplaced'
India at UN, Geneva tweets, "We have seen the OHCHR’s remarks about today’s events in New Delhi. India is the world’s largest democracy, where the right to peaceful assembly is guaranteed by our Constitution and safeguarded by robust institutions, an independent judiciary, and a free media. As in every democracy, Indian citizens exercise this right subject to reasonable restrictions in the interest of public order. The authorities, for their part, act in accordance with the law, and our courts remain available to all for redressal of any grievances. The OHCHR’s concerns are therefore misplaced and constitute an unwarranted interference in the internal affairs of India. In this context, OHCHR would also do well to devote comparable attention to large-scale protests elsewhere, consistent with its mandate of impartiality and non-selectivity.", — ANI (@ANI) October 10, 2026

'Surpasses Hitler's Era': Abhishek Banerjee Slams BJP Over Detention Of Mamata Banerjee, TMC Leaders

Mamata Banerjee and five Members of Parliament were sitting at a bus stop, staging a peaceful protest against the theft of votes in Bengal; yet, even that form of protest was denied to them. This surpasses even the era of Hitler. If this government was elected by the people, why is it so afraid of the common man's protest?... Even after the Supreme Court's directives, you are keeping metro stations, railway stations, and airports shut. Previously, we used to see protesters blocking trains or highways; now, the government itself is doing it to prevent ordinary people from protesting or reaching protest venues... Why are they trying to shield Gyanesh Kumar? If Gyanesh Kumar is arrested, no one—not even the BJP's top, powerful leaders—will escape; everyone will end up behind bars.
