India’s ‘cockroach’ movement says will launch protest if poll panel chief doesn’t quit in 48 hours

-

MUMBAI, Sept ‌24 (Reuters) - India's 'Cockroach' youth ​movement leaders said on Thursday that ⁠they would launch protests across the country if India's chief ​election officer does not resign ‌in 48 hours, a day after a newspaper report pointed to ⁠differences among top ⁠officers leading the poll panel.

The Indian Express newspaper said on Wednesday that two election ‌commissioners had raised questions or ⁠expressed concern at ‌least 14 times ​in 10 months, mostly in connection with the process of ‌updating voters' lists ​that began ⁠last year, with Chief Election ‌Commissioner Gyanesh ⁠Kumar.

The Election Commission of India said that differences were normal ​in any ‌institution and that all its actions ⁠were legal.
