All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president Asaduddin Owaisi said reports of a war within the Election Commission were worrying and emphasised on unanimity of views in the poll panel.

     

The ECI is one of the more trusted public institutions in the country, a 'war within' is extremely worrying. The SC, in TN Seshan case had made it clear that CEC doesnt enjoy a higher status than other ECs & must strive towards unanimity. Basic Constitutional norms must be respected, he tweeted.
