Delhi Police Files FIRs Over Anti-CEC Protests, But Who's Really Accountable?

In a troubling development for democratic accountability, the Delhi Police have registered three First Information Reports (FIRs) concerning the recent anti-Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) demonstrations. Strikingly, none of the individuals or organizations involved have been named as accused in these complaints, raising serious questions about transparency and the rule of law.

While the FIRs reportedly contain details about the organizers and the groups that either proposed or took part in the protests, the absence of named individuals suggests a potential evasion of accountability. Citizens are left wondering: if these protests were deemed unlawful, why hasn't the police taken action against those responsible?

This situation not only undermines the right to protest but also puts a spotlight on the government's handling of dissent. With elections approaching, the fundamental question remains — what is being done to ensure that voices of the people are heard without fear of reprisals? As reported by The Hindu, the lack of accountability in these FIRs poses a significant threat to democratic principles in India.
