Event Summary

73 opposition Members of Parliament in the India — Rajya Sabha, led by Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, have submitted a fresh notice of motion to the President of India seeking the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The motion alleges 'proven misbehaviour' and 'continued partisan asymmetry' in enforcing the Model Code of Conduct, citing the India — Election Commission of India's failure to act on complaints against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This follows a previous similar notice that was rejected by India — Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. The move escalates tensions between the opposition and the government over the functioning and independence of the India — Election Commission of India.
