Congress Accuses Election Commission Over ECINet, SIR Accountability

Congress says the Election Commission gave misleading information about a computer system called ECINet.

The party says the system was not being used according to election laws.

It claims some election officers could not fully control voter-roll work.

Congress also questioned the removal of about 13.3 crore voters during a voter-list review called SIR.

It wants the Election Commission to publish documents and explain its decisions.

Congress leaders are also demanding accountability and the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

The INDIA bloc plans marches and rallies to protest the alleged problems.

Two election commissioners reportedly objected several times to SIR-related decisions.

The Election Commission says disagreements inside an institution are normal and that its orders follow the law.
