Naseeruddin Shah joins CJP's Mumbai protest against Gyanesh Kumar

CJP has organised a protest at Mumbai's Shivaji Park on Friday, demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation.

It has also announced plans to expand the agitation to other Indian cities if Kumar does not step down.
