Rahul Slams Midnight Call on CEC, Says 'Disrespectful'

Gandhi and Amit Shah are members of the selection committee.

The fundamental aspect of an independent Election Commission free from executive interference is the process of choosing ECs and CECs, Gandhi said in his dissent note, which was shared on X.

During the panel meeting on Monday, Gandhi pushed for the postponement of the decision on the CEC till the SC hearing on a petition challenging the constitution of the selection panel. The SC is set to hear the case on Wednesday.
