EC issues notice to Cong chief's son Priyank Kharge for 'nalayak' remark against PM Modi
  • Country:

The Election Commission on Wednesday issued a notice to Congress leader Priyank Kharge for his ''nalayak'' remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying prima facie he has violated provisions of the model code.

The Commission has asked Priyank, son of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, to respond to the notice by May 4 evening as to why appropriate action for violation of the Model Code of Conduct should not be taken against him.

The BJP had moved the poll panel against Priyank for using abusive language against Prime Minister Modi.
