India's CJP Movement Says 10,000 Detained as Protests Grow

India's Cockroach Janata Party says at least 10,000 members and supporters were detained nationwide as protests demanding the election chief's resignation continue. Demonstrators accuse the Election Commission of removing over 130 million voters from electoral rolls to benefit Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP. The commission denies political motive, saying the revision targets duplicate and ineligible entries.
