TMC Leaders Summoned: Delhi Court Acts on EC Protest

A Delhi court on Monday issued summons to Trinamool Congress leaders Derek O’Brien, Sagarika Ghose, and Saket Gokhale. The summons relate to a protest held outside the Election Commission of India in 2024.

The protest, police allege, violated a prohibitory order in place on April 8, 2024. The accused are alleged to have gathered near the EC’s main gate.

The court’s action follows a police complaint filed after the incident. The TMC leaders are now required to appear before the court to respond to the charges.

This case highlights the ongoing tension between political parties and election authorities. The summons underscore the legal consequences of defying prohibitory orders during election-related activities and its implications for the democratic process.
