Congress Accuses EC of Bias over Kharge's 'Terrorist' Remark

The Congress has accused the Election Commission of partiality following its warning to Mallikarjun Kharge over his remarks on Prime Minister Modi. Kharge's comments, depicting Modi as a 'terrorist' politically, attracted criticism. The Congress claims the EC operates under the influence of the Union home ministry.

The Election Commission of India came under fire from the Congress party after it issued a 'stern notice' to party chief Mallikarjun Kharge regarding his controversial comments about Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Kharge had called the Prime Minister a 'terrorist' while addressing an AIADMK-BJP alliance, suggesting Modi was 'terrorising' political opposition by leveraging government machinery.

In response, Congress communications head Jairam Ramesh claimed the EC had shown bias aligning itself with the Union home ministry, thus undermining constitutional integrity.
