The Congress party has raised concerns regarding the Election Commission of India's (ECI) notice to its president Mallikarjun Kharge, who made comments referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a 'terrorist'. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh stated that the notice, issued with only 24 hours for a response, appears to have ulterior motives and lacks adherence to natural justice. Ramesh pointed out discrepancies in the notices, including the omission of the complainant's name in one notice, which was originally filed by Derek O'Brien of the All India Trinamool Congress. The Congress party has requested a week to prepare a detailed response, emphasizing that the current timeline is insufficient due to Kharge's involvement in multiple election campaigns. Ramesh criticized the ECI for issuing notices based on complaints from the ruling party without proper consideration.
