Kharge’s remarks on Modi: Congress alleges EC issuing ‘casual’ notices, seeks time to reply

The Election Commission asked Congress president to explain his stance within 24 hours, claiming his remarks were "highly objectionable" and in violation of the Model Code of Conduct. The Congress party responded to the notice, seeking a hearing and more time to file a detailed reply, alleging the poll panel showed "non-application of mind" in issuing the notice.
