EC Issues Notice To Kharge Over Modi Remark
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has been issued a notice by the Election Commission over his controversial remark involving Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the ongoing election campaign. The move has escalated the political row, with the poll body stepping in after the BJP formally complained and sought action over what it called a serious violation of campaign decorum.
Election Commission Issues Notice To Kharge
The Election Commission has sought Kharge’s response within 24 hours, taking serious note of the remark that triggered the controversy. The notice came shortly after a BJP delegation met the full bench of the Commission and demanded action, arguing that the statement crossed acceptable political limits during an active election period.
BJP Presses For Action Over Modi Remark
The BJP has described the comment as one of the gravest possible imputations in public life and has urged the Commission to take penal action under the poll code. Party leaders also demanded a public apology from Kharge, turning the matter into a broader political confrontation between the Congress and the BJP in the middle of campaign season.
Kharge Remark Adds Heat To Election Campaign
The controversy has now become a major campaign issue, with both parties using it to attack each other’s political conduct and language. Kharge had earlier clarified that he did not mean to call Modi a terrorist directly, but the Election Commission’s intervention shows the matter is now being treated as a formal election issue rather than only a war of words between rivals.
