The Election Commission is believed to have expressed displeasure over the controversial election speeches of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
The three-member Commission, which met to consider their replies to the notice sent to them, was unhappy over the alleged justification of encounter killing of Sohrabuddin and Gandhi’s ‘merchant of death’ remarks against the Gujarat state machinery including the Chief Minister.
The commission is believed to have expressed displeasure over their replies to the notice.
Modi, in his reply, had denied defending the fake encounter killing and said his remarks in a public meeting on the issue were provoked by Gandhi’s attack on him.
Gandhi, in her reply, is believed to have said that she did name anyone in particular when she made her remarks ‘merchants of death’.
But in her reply she also did not specifically exclude Modi from the implications of her statement.
