‘Action illegal, no case against Meenakshi Natarajan’: Congress after EC meeting on RS candidature

Congress leaders met Election Commission officials over the Rajya Sabha candidature of Meenakshi Natarajan being cancelled in Madhya Pradesh. The party claims the nomination cancellation is "illegal" as there is no established criminal case against Natarajan that she could have disclosed. Congress MPs Abhishek Manu Singhvi and KC Venugopal have made submissions to the EC, which has assured them that they will look into the matter. The party alleges the cancellation was an attempt to snatch their seat, while the BJP had raised discrepancies in Natarajan's affidavit.
