New Delhi, 17th Dec. Congress on Friday hit out at the Central government, and alleged that the government is treating the Election Commission as its “subservient tool”.
Congress general secretary and chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said that the government has stooped to a new low in destroying institutions in the country.
Citing reports that a Law Ministry official had sought the presence of the Chief Election Commissioner and ECs at a meeting with the PM’s principal secretary, Surjewala said this “was unheard of in independent India”.
“Cat is out of the bag! What was whispered till now is a fact. PMO summoning ECI was unheard of in independent India. Treating EC as a subservient tool is yet another low in Modi Government’s record of destroying every institution,” he tweeted tagging news reports in this regard.
The reports said that the CEC had reservations on a note from a Law Ministry official that the Principal Secretary to PM, P K Mishra, will chair a meeting on a common electoral roll and expects CEC to be present.
