Rahul Gandhi Detained | ECI Discredited | Opposition Points to a Potential Election Fraud

On August 11, 2025, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, Akhilesh Yadav, Sanjay Raut, and other INDIA bloc leaders were detained in Delhi while marching to the Election Commission of India. Their protest was against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar’s voter rolls — a process they say could disenfranchise millions
In this episode of Unraveled with Marvi Sirmed, we break down:
1- What SIR is and why it’s controversial
2- Rahul Gandhi’s serious allegations of voter list manipulation and collusion between the ECI and BJP
3- The Election Commission’s and government’s responses
4- How the day’s detentions unfolded in Delhi
5- Why this moment signals a worrying slide in democratic norms across South Asia

India’s Election Commission has long been admired as a gold standard in the region — unlike its counterparts in Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Sri Lanka, often accused of partisanship. But today, with allegations of vote fraud and opposition leaders being detained, that reputation is under unprecedented strain.

Why the U.S. Designated TRF: Diplomatic Fallout, FATF Pressure, and Pakistan’s Balancing Act

On July 17, 2025, the United States designated The Resistance Front (TRF) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). This move came months after the deadly Pahalgam attack in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir, which India attributes to TRF—an alleged front for the already-banned Lashkar-e-Taiba.
