EC Issues Notice to Mallikarjun Kharge: Politics has intensified regarding Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s controversial statement on PM Modi. The Election Commission has issued a notice and sought a reply within 24 hours. BJP demands strict action, know the whole matter.
The temperature of rhetoric often rises during the election season, but this time the matter is directly related to the highest constitutional post of the country. The controversial remarks made by Mallikarjun Kharge about Prime Minister Narendra Modi have sparked heated debate in political circles. Now, taking this matter seriously, the Election Commission of India has issued a notice to the Congress President and sought a reply within 24 hours.
Election Commission’s strict stance
The Election Commission has clarified that in an electoral environment, such language does not come within the scope of code of conduct and political decorum. The Commission has asked Kharge to clarify his statement, which makes it clear that this issue will not be ignored merely as a political statement.

BJP’s pressure and delegation’s complaint
This entire incident started when a BJP delegation met the Election Commission and lodged an objection to this statement. This delegation included three senior ministers including Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. After meeting the Commission, Sitharaman said that the use of such words by a senior leader like the Congress President is extremely objectionable and strict action should be taken against it.
In fact, during a press conference in Chennai, Mallikarjun Kharge used the word ‘terrorist’ about the Prime Minister. However, after the controversy escalated, he clarified that what he meant was that the Prime Minister’s policies “terrorize” people and not that he directly called him a terrorist.
After this statement, BJP leaders reacted sharply. Party spokesperson Sambit Patra not only called it condemnable but also called it a reflection of the thinking of the Congress. Patra alleged that this was not a case of a “slip of the tongue” but part of a well-thought-out strategy in which objectionable language was being continuously used against the Prime Minister.
Questions raised again on political etiquette
This controversy has come to light at a time when election activities are in full swing in many states of the country. In such a situation, it is natural to raise questions on the language used by senior leaders.
Political analysts believe that such rhetoric not only affects the electoral environment but also degrades the quality of democratic dialogue. Now all eyes are on the next step of the Election Commission of India. Based on Kharge’s response, the commission will decide whether any action is needed or not. This matter may remain the center of political debate in the coming days, especially when the election atmosphere is at its peak.
