BIG BREAKING: EC sends a stern response to allegations made by TMC against the Commission in its representation to Bengal CEO regarding injuries to Mamata Banerjee. Says it looks undignified to even respond to allegations of all this being done at behest of a particular party
EC says that while 'the unfortunate incident needs to be inquired into with promptitude and dispatch", it is completely incorrect to state that EC has taken over law and order machinery in the name of conducting elections and appropriated the whole governance structure
"This virtually tantamounts to undermine the very foundation and fabric of the Constitution of India". EC says it does not appropriate day to day governance of any state including WB which keeps on functioning as per extant rules of business & distribution of work approved by CM
EC: DGP was not removed summarily and without application of mind. It was outcome of recommendation given by spl observers Ajay Nayak and Vivek Dubey.
EC: Yesterday when EC learnt of the unfortunate incident from media, report was immediately sought from chief secretary and bothspl observers within 48 hrs. Till such time reports are available it is not possible to draw any empirical conclusion, let alone link it to DGP removal
EC: Even ADG (Law and Order) was changed after considered application of mind by special observers.
EC: When elections have been announced, it is not legally necessary or mandatory to consult the state government because these are normally temporary measures for the period of elections.
EC: Commission shall await report of the chief secretary and spl observers and share contents with all stakeholders, including WB govt. Life and security of CM and HM of WB needs to be duly protected by all tasked with the maintenance of law and order machinery of WB
