Congress Demands Resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar
The Congress party has called for the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, citing his alleged execution of 'illegal orders' as a liability for the nation. This demand follows remarks by Supreme Court Justice Ujjal Bhuyan, who stated that any process disenfranchising millions of citizens is arbitrary and undermines the Constitution. The Congress claims that Justice Bhuyan's comments confirm violations by the Election Commission regarding citizens' voting rights. The Election Commission has defended its decisions, stating that differing views are part of institutional deliberations. Justice Bhuyan emphasized that the right to vote is a constitutional right and integral to democracy, asserting that no authority can undermine Article 326 of the Constitution.
