Thousands of opposition supporters marched through Delhi to India’s Supreme Court to demand the election chief resign over alleged electoral roll fraud.
Monday’s “March for Democracy” was the latest in a series of demonstrations, with thousands of security forces deployed and roads barricaded in the capital. Thousands of protesters were detained over the weekend.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi submitted a petition to the court challenging the process, in which tens of millions of names have been struck off the voter rolls.
Opposition parties allege the revision benefits Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The Election Commission and the BJP reject the charge.

Websites have been taken down worldwide after critical weaknesses were revealed in a programming language which powers much of the internet. Governments and agencies are urging websites to address the problem immediately.
The vulnerabilities were found within the PHP programming language. The flaws were discovered by AI, with cyber-security experts saying were the most severe vulnerabilities ever discovered by the technology, which is reshaping the cyber-security landscape.
The US National Security Agency issued a warning for organisations to take their systems offline if they are unable to immediately apply a fix, which has now been issued. The governments of France and Finland were among those ordering shut down of some web services, along with many private organisations around the world. Japan’s prime minister urged people to check if their publicly-accessible websites ran on PHP.
The vulnerabilities were discovered by cyber-security researchers at the firms Calif and Wiz and were part of a program started by the internet firm OpenAI, called Patch the Planet. They discovered the issue after being given access to the AI company’s advanced AI tools, in order to find and fix flaws in web development language.
OpenAi said the discovery was “one of the most impactful security issues in recent memory”. The flaws had gone undetected for more than a decade. It’s estimated that around 70% of the internet could be vulnerable to the threat.
It had been intended to release details of the issue later this month along with a fix, or software patch, for the problem. However details of the flaw were leaked on social media, forcing PHP Foundation, the organisation that supports use of the programming language, to rush out an announcement of the vulnerability and its huge scale.

Undercover: Solicitor offers to help ‘mini-mart owner’ dodge fine for illegal worker | BBC News
A solicitor has been secretly filmed by the BBC explaining how he could make a £45,000 illegal working fine go away.
Mohammad Alias Yousaf – also known as Alias – made the claim to an undercover reporter, who was posing as a mini-mart owner facing a fine for employing an illegal worker.
The Bradford-based solicitor told his potential client he could avoid paying the fine if our undercover reporter could find someone overseas prepared to declare themselves the owner of the mini-mart.
Alias has denied ever providing such advice to anyone or giving false information to the Home Office.
At least £150m is currently owed to the government in uncollected illegal working fines, according to Home Office figures obtained by the BBC.
In response to our investigation, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced a review of the way illegal working fines are issued and collected.

Why gang up on Facebook, why is not there a witch-hunt for Google, Amazon, Android, Apple or Microsoft, these are all involved in social media and before Facebook blew up there was always mainstream platforms like MySpace, Yahoo and Reddit equally capable of politically influencing, pressuring women to be perfect and censoring millions.
All these extremely bright people of fallen companies eventually go off and of course gravitated to the fast money, chasing market leaders like FACEBOOK for big cash contracts and all the small separate competitive companies have faulted along the way due to our choice (democracy) and this one giant corporation emerged, an inevitable platform monopoly funded by you through advertising.
The population of this planet decided the amalgamation not the platform, blame yourselves.
You are all responsible, not these super geeks because you like it🤷 much more than reality as it kind of sucks for millions most days and that is how it got in, it offered another reality to live in, because life does not happen as instantly and people are not really that charismatic or safe in real life.
Choice caused it, the horror is humans are addicted to socialising and it does not matter which medium is present.
