Indian youth leader Abhijeet Dipke has vowed to proceed with a major planned protest march in New Delhi on Saturday, despite the reported detentions of thousands of his supporters. Dipke leads the "Cockroach" youth movement and is calling for the resignation of India's top poll official.
The protests and subsequent detentions stem from a dispute over a controversial voter-list revision. According to opposition parties, the revision has resulted in the disenfranchisement of millions of voters.
