Congress Demands Immediate Suspension of SIR, Claims CEC Cannot Be Saved

Congress leaders have demanded that the SIR be suspended without delay, asserting that the Central Election Commission (CEC) is beyond rescue. The party’s statement was issued during a press conference held in New Delhi, where senior Congress officials voiced concerns over the CEC’s functioning. They argue that the CEC’s current structure and processes have failed to meet the required standards for fair elections.

The call for suspension comes amid growing criticism of the CEC’s handling of recent electoral reforms. Congress officials claim that the commission’s decisions have been inconsistent and lack transparency, which could undermine public trust in the electoral process.

In response, the CEC has not yet issued a formal reply. Analysts suggest that the party’s demands could prompt a review of the commission’s mandate and oversight mechanisms. The political landscape is watching closely as the situation develops.

The Congress party has urged the government to act swiftly to restore confidence in the electoral system, warning that continued delays could erode democratic norms.
