Abhishek Banerjee seeks CEC’s removal, court-monitored probe amid ECI row

New Delhi, Sep 23 (UNI Trinamool Congress general secretary Abhishek Banerjee on Wednesday demanded the immediate removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and a court-monitored investigation into the functioning of the Election Commission of India, alleging that the disenfranchisement of voters was being carried out to benefit a particular political party.
In a post on his WhatsApp channel, Banerjee said, “The CEC must be removed immediately and a court monitored investigation ordered.” He alleged that “disenfranchising lakhs of voters to allegedly benefit one political party strikes at the very foundation of our democracy” and asserted that those responsible must be held accountable.
“The Supreme Court cannot look away. The buck stops there,” Banerjee said, directly questioning the apex court over its response to the controversy surrounding the functioning of the poll panel. “Will the CJI led Bench act?” he asked.
