Election Commission Rebukes Congress Over 'Haryana Results Unacceptable' Remark

The Election Commission criticized Congress leaders for their remarks on Haryana's election results, labeling them as undemocratic. The EC has acknowledged requests for a meeting with a Congress delegation to discuss the issue, marking an important juncture in electoral discourse.

The Election Commission has strongly objected to Congress leaders labeling Haryana's election results as 'unacceptable,' describing such comments as unprecedented within the country's democratic framework.

In communication with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, the EC underscored that statements from leaders like Jairam Ramesh and Pawan Khera verge on rejecting the electorate's voice, expressed lawfully through the election process.

Despite receiving statements from Kharge and Rahul Gandhi about the 'unexpected' results, the EC is set to meet with a Congress delegation, including those responsible for the contentious remarks, later today.
