News Desk: Election Commission reacts to Mamata Banerjee’s statement at a rally in Bankura on Tuesday and accused her of attempt to belittle it.
In the unusually sharp letter, Deputy Election Commissioner Sudeep Jain wrote: “Notwithstanding the above meetings in Kolkata and in Delhi, if it is stated by honourable CM that the commission should meet political parties, it is only an attempt to belittle the institution of commission with repeated innuendos and averments”.
The Commission, Mr Jain wrote, “maintains the position that they would not like to keep on being put in the dock for alleged proximity to any political entity etc. However, if CM persists in creating and attempting to perpetuate this myth for reasons best known to her, it is singularly unfortunate, and it is only for CM to adjudge as to why she is doing so.
