'Smacks of ulterior motives’: Congress on EC's notice to Kharge, seeks time for reply

The Congress party has flagged a short notice given by the Election Commission to party chief Mallikarjun Kharge over his 'terrorist' remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The party claims the notice "smacks of ulterior motives" as there is no violation of the model code of conduct or any other laws. The Congress sought time to file a detailed response within one week.
