The Election Commission will on Tuesday hear the violation of model code of conduct complaints against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi and Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah.
The Election Commission will take a decision on complaints of model code violations by PM Narendra Modi, BJP chief Amit Shah and Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday. The poll panel is also likely to discuss possible dates for J&K assembly elections.
The poll panel's decision has come on a day the Supreme Court agreed to hear on Tuesday a Congress MP's plea seeking direction to the EC to decide without any "demur" the complaints against PM Narendra Modi and Amit Shah on their alleged hate speeches and using armed forces for "political propaganda".
A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi took note of the submissions of senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi that the plea of Sushmita Dev be accorded an urgent hearing as EC has not taken any decision on complaints of model code of conduct violations against PM Modi and Amit Shah.
The Congress has also demanded a ban on campaigning by PM Modi for 48 to 72 hours. Congress leaders alleged that no decision was taken against PM Modi even though the party filed 10 complaints against him. He said that PM Modi has been violating the model code of conduct for the past four weeks.
From the opposition party, Rahul Gandhi is under the EC's lens for his 'chowkidar chor hai' jibe against Modi.
