The Election Commission of India on Monday sought clarification from Congress over a social media post on Karnataka ‘Sovereignty’.
Sonia Gandhi, who stayed away from the poll campaign, created controversy in her first public rally on May 6 in Hubballi after she said that the “Congress will not allow anyone to pose a threat to Karnataka’s reputation, sovereignty or integrity”.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused Congress of calling for the secession of Karnataka from India.
“They (Gandhis) said they want to protect the sovereignty of Karnataka. It means they are openly advocating to separate Karnataka from India,” the PM stated.
“The royal family of the Congress works against the interest of the country. They secretly meet the diplomats of countries which are against India,” the PM said, apparently referring to the meetings Rahul Gandhi has had with Chinese diplomats in the past.
The BJP moved the Election Commission seeking action against Sonia Gandhi and the derecognition of her party for her use of the term “sovereignty” for Karnataka in the course of the state ballot marketing campaign. The celebration additionally demanded an FIR in opposition to her.
