‘Be careful’: EC asks Rahul Gandhi to avoid remarks like ‘pickpocket’, ‘panauti’

The Election Commission has advised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to exercise caution in his public statements following his remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The commission’s advice comes in response to a directive from the Delhi High Court and its own advisory on campaign conduct.
