EC Withdraws Notice Issued to Rahul Gandhi Over TV Interview

Congress asked EC whether it was a “ploy” to prevent the telecast or a justification for no action against PM.

After the Election Commission of India withdrew notice given to Rahul Gandhi for violating the 48-hour ban on campaigning during Gujarat polls, Congress questioned it asking whether it was a mere "ploy" to prevent their telecast or a justification for not taking any action against the prime minister.

The reaction came just after the poll panel withdrew the show cause notice to Gandhi for alleged violation of the Model Code of Conduct, saying the provision under which it was issued is now under review.
