The Delhi High Court on Thursday asked the Election Commission of India (EC) to take a decision, preferably within eight weeks, against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his public speech claiming the BJP-led government at the Centre was being run by “pickpockets”.
The High Court remarked that “though the statements are not in good taste”, the EC is examining the matter. The court noted that in the notice sent on November 23, the election body had said it will take appropriate action.
