Overview

• Quraishi called the Election Commission’s tone toward the Leader of Opposition “objectionable and offensive,” saying the body appeared to be “shouting” at him.
• He argued that standard practice is to order a probe when serious complaints are raised and said the EC missed an opportunity to demonstrate fairness.
• Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar had told Rahul Gandhi to submit a declaration under oath within seven days or see his allegations treated as baseless.
• The EC has rejected Gandhi’s Mahadevapura assertions as false and has said concerns should be filed during the claims-and-objections window for correction.
• Quraishi also criticized Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision and questioned excluding the EC-issued voter ID (EPIC) from acceptable documents, warning of serious implications.
