Hot Picks. The opposition has given notice in Parliament for the removal of Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Members of both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha are involved in giving notice. This is the first time that such action has been taken to remove a Chief Election Commissioner. If a party gives notice in the Lok Sabha, then according to the rules it must have the consent of 130 MPs of the Lok Sabha and 63 of the Rajya Sabha. But the opposition has crossed this figure by getting the support of 193 MPs and has issued a notice. This includes the main opposition parties as well as all the parties included in the India Alliance and some independent MPs. According to the information, the move to give notice against the Chief Election Commissioner is of Trinamool Congress Party, which has been supported by the MPs of all small and big parties of All India Alliance. In the notice, opposition MPs have made several allegations against the Election Commissioner. Which includes affecting the independence of the Election Commission, large-scale voter disenfranchisement, partisan conduct, deliberate obstruction in the investigation of election rigging. The opposition claimed that the Election Commission has removed the names of lakhs of voters to benefit the BJP. Before the West Bengal elections, opposition parties have made big allegations against the Chief Election Commissioner.
Notice will be presented in Parliament on Saturday
The investigation will be started after the Lok Sabha Secretariat receives the notice against the Chief Election Commissioner. Many decisions of the Supreme Court are also mentioned in the allegation. However, it will be officially presented in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha tomorrow i.e. on Saturday. This step by the opposition raises serious questions on the working style of the Election Commission.
The ruling party called it a political stunt
Giving notice against the Chief Election Commissioner by the opposition parties not only raises questions on the working style of the Election Commission, but also raises questions on the credibility of the Election Commission in the upcoming elections. The ruling party has termed this matter as a political stunt. There is a possibility of an uproar in the Parliament tomorrow i.e. on Saturday regarding the notice. However, no official response has been given yet by the government or the Election Commission regarding the notice.
