Congress Declares Black Day in Himachal, Demands CEC Resignation

The Indian National Congress in Himachal Pradesh observed a ‘Black Day’ on a day announced by the party to protest the conduct of the Election Commission. The party’s statement criticized the commission’s actions and alleged that they compromised the fairness of the electoral process.

In its demand, the Congress called for the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner, arguing that the current leadership had failed to maintain public confidence in the electoral system. The party’s leaders said that the CEC’s decisions had led to widespread confusion and mistrust among voters.

The protest is part of a broader campaign by the Congress to highlight perceived irregularities in the conduct of elections across the state. Party officials urged voters to stay vigilant and to report any anomalies.

No response has yet been issued by the Election Commission or the Chief Election Commissioner regarding the party’s demands.
