What Happened

Opposition parties united to challenge the rejection of an impeachment notice against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Congress MP Abhishek Singhvi, joined by TMC, RJD, AAP, DMK, and NCP-SP leaders, said the rejection undermines constitutional processes and weakens democratic accountability. They argued the presiding officers made a fundamental error by dismissing the motion at the preliminary stage, eliminating subsequent scrutiny stages mandated by the Constitution.
