Mumbai: Opposition parties on Wednesday expressed grave concern over red flags raised by two ECI commissioners over the SIR process, with Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray demanding the sacking and jailing of CEC Gyanesh Kumar and NCP (SP) calling for an all-party meeting.
Senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan said the Supreme Court should take suo motu cognisance and examine the Election Commission's functioning. He appealed to opposition parties to "initiate proceedings" to remove the Chief Election Commissioner.
