Congress to Begin Statewide Agitation in Assam Demanding CEC's Removal

The Indian National Congress said it will start a coordinated agitation across Assam from today, demanding that the Chief Election Commissioner be removed from office. The party’s statement, released early this morning, urged its cadres and supporters to gather at multiple locations throughout the state. Congress leaders framed the demand as a response to perceived irregularities in the electoral process, though specific allegations were not detailed in the announcement. The party has called for peaceful demonstrations and has asked local authorities to ensure the safety of participants. The move marks a significant escalation in the party’s campaign against the Election Commission in the run‑up to upcoming elections.
