New DelhiOpposition parties mock-impeached India’s Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on Saturday.
The opposition says the voter-roll revision favours Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party, which denies it.
Only Parliament can remove the chief election commissioner, by a special majority, so Saturday’s proceeding carried no legal force.
An opposition rally follows in Delhi on Sunday, and Home Minister Amit Shah offers a special parliament session.
