DMK president Stalin demands immediate resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar, halt to SIR exercise
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader M.K. Stalin called for the chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to step down immediately and for the suspension of the SIR exercise. Stalin said the demand follows media reports that the commission proceeded with decisions without consulting the two other election commissioners, ignoring their objections. He urged the government to intervene and ensure the commission respects collective decision‑making.
