    Priyanka hopes for early resolve to Khurshid row

    Lucknow, Feb 13 (IANS) Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, daughter of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Monday expressed the hope that the row between Law Minister Salman Khurshid and the Election Commission on his statement on the sub-quota for Muslims will be sorted out.

    "These things do happen during elections... One is free to voice his opinion during elections. So is the Election Commission," Priyanka said while campaigning in Rae Bareli, the Lok Sabha constituency of her mother Sonia Gandhi.

    "Hope the matter will be sorted out," she added.

    The controversy was triggered by a letter from the poll panel to President Pratibha Patil Saturday, complaining about Khurshid's "defiant" attitude on his remarks on providing a job quota for minorities.

    The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) wants the minister be sacked.

      The remark made by Priyanka:
      "These things do happen during elections... One is free to voice his opinion during elections. So is the Election Commission," Priyanka said while campaigning in Rae Bareli.It proves she is ignorant of the constitutional powers conferred on the Election Commission.She has not yet matured to become the leader of the masses.Still a long way to go,maybe another 20 years for the Congress to form the next government.

      First the Elephants now Khursheed.EC is going out of its way to settle personal dispute with khursheed. He has not violated any EC directive and rules But he can't submit to the whims of qoraishi. EC must work within its mandate and not try to influence election by generating unnecessary controversies.Jai Hind

      Probably BJP has gone mad?Does Bjp not know that President,PM and also EC for that matter are just puppets in the hands of the congress?When EC could transfer DM and ADM of Amethi and Raebarelly because they were not dancing to the tunes of congress,it did not take any action against Salluman.At least the CEC should take some advice from ex-CEC,Mr.Seshan TN if at all it is interested to establish its credibility of being a constitutional body,and prove that it is not a puppet in the hands of congress.
