EC response to Mallikarjun Kharge's letter beyond description: Congress
Congress responded strongly to the Election Commission's sharp disapproval of the tone and tenor of party president Mallikarjun Kharge's recent letter to the INDIA bloc leaders.
The AICC said the content and the intent of the letter will be a permanent blot on the reputation of the institution of EC.
«The response of the Election Commission of India (ECI) to the issues raised by the Congress President in his letter to the INDIA parties is simply beyond description. The EC is a Constitutional body entrusted with the responsibility of being an impartial body that ensures, and is seen to ensure, a level-playing field to all political parties. Both the content and intent of the letter will be a permanent blot on the reputation of an institution that can boast of luminaries like Sukumar Sen, TN Seshan, JM Lyngdoh and others», said Jairam Ramesh, AICC in-charge of communications.
«The Congress president had raised legitimate issues, on which there have been widespread concern and comment. The approach of EC to addressing these issues is deeply regrettable,» he added.
