Amid ongoing allegations of 'vote theft,' sources said Opposition parties are likely to introduce an impeachment motion against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar during the Monsoon Session of Parliament, reported ANI.

Congress Rajya Sabha MP Syed Naseer Hussain, reacting to the matter, said his party is prepared to use every democratic measure available, including an impeachment motion if necessary, even though no formal discussions have taken place so far.

"If there is a need, we will use all the weapons of democracy under the rules. We have not had any discussions (about impeachment) as of now, but if needed, we can do anything," Hussain told ANI.
