The Delhi High Court has directed the Election Commission of India to act against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi “in accordance with the law” for calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi, home minister Amit Shah and businessman Gautam Adani ‘pickpockets’. Observing that the statements were not in good taste, the court gave the constitutional body eight weeks to take the action.
“Though the statements are not in good taste, yet as the ECI is acting in the matter the court will not like to keep the matter pending. The same is disposed of,” court said in the order.
The court directed action against Gandhi after being informed that though ECI had issued a notice to him on November 23 with regards to his speech and had said it would take action against him in case he did not reply by November 26, he failed to respond.
