INDIA bloc plans 'public impeachment' event, demands dissolution of parliament

The INDIA bloc coalition has scheduled a 'public impeachment' event for November 30 at the New Delhi residence of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, marking an escalation in the opposition's confrontational stance against the government.

Former Lok Sabha Speaker Mira Kumar will chair the proceedings as the presiding officer for the symbolic exercise. Kharge is expected to formally present the impeachment proposal during the event, while senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will address the gathering, speaking last among key participants.

The opposition alliance's decision to organize the public impeachment comes amid sustained criticism of the government's policies and administrative decisions. The INDIA bloc, which comprises multiple opposition parties, has been intensifying its political mobilization ahead of key legislative sessions.

The event represents the coalition's effort to galvanize public support for its demands, which include the dissolution of the current parliament and conducting fresh general elections using ballot papers rather than electronic voting machines. The opposition has previously raised concerns about the electoral process and institutional functioning.
