Delhi High Court has instructed the Election Commission to take action against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi over his derogatory remarks, calling PM Modi, HM Amit Shah, and businessman Gautam Adani 'pickpockets.' The court, noting the statements were not in good taste, granted the EC eight weeks to act, emphasizing the need for swift resolution. Earlier, the EC had issued a notice to Gandhi, who failed to respond. While the court didn't specify the action, it urged compliance with the law. The EC notice stemmed from Gandhi's 'panauti and pickpocket' jibes, deemed potentially violating electoral conduct.
