Hundreds of Indian students gathered at Parliament Square in the British capital on Saturday to protest against India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and seek the dismissal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over a disputed alteration of electoral lists.

The event, organized by the Indian Overseas Congress Youth branch, with backing from UK-based Indian students’ groups and other diaspora organizations, included appeals to end “vote theft” and defend India’s democratic institutions.

The rally was addressed by Dhruv Rathee, an activist who was the keynote speaker during the “Stop Vote Chori” (Stop Vote Theft) protest.

He demanded the replacement of the chief election commissioner through a mechanism negotiated by the administration and the opposition leader.

“It is important that the message against ‘vote chori’ is spread in our country,” Rathee stated in Hindi. “These protests will continue until the Chief Election Commissioner is removed and a person accepted by the government and Leader of the Opposition is appointed.”

Late on Saturday, Canadian Defense Minister David McGuinty stated there were “fatalities and injuries” following an incident at a military base in western Canada.

“I am saddened to say that there have been fatalities and injuries as a consequence of an incident on the base,” McGuinty added, named as Wainwright in Alberta.

Prime Minister Mark Carney had previously posted to X on Saturday that “a serious incident creating a major fire” had occurred at the base.

Neither gave specifics about how many injuries there were or what happened at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright, some 200 kilometers southeast of Edmonton.

“We’ll have more to say in the hours and days to come,” added McGuinty.

CFB Wainwright is among the busiest army bases in Canada.
