The Sikkim Students' Federation (U’khand SFI) has formally demanded the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner, citing concerns over electoral integrity.
The Sikkim Students' Federation (U’khand SFI), a student body based in the northeastern state of Sikkim, has officially requested the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC). The demand was submitted to the Election Commission of India in a formal letter, highlighting alleged lapses in the conduct of recent elections.
In its communication, U’khand SFI accused the CEC of compromising electoral fairness and called for a thorough review of the election process. The federation argues that such actions undermine public trust in the democratic system.
The Election Commission has yet to respond to the letter, and no immediate action has been announced. The demand has drawn attention from political analysts who warn that the issue could spark broader debates on electoral reforms.
If the CEC does not step down, the federation plans to organize peaceful protests across major cities in Sikkim to keep the pressure on the central authorities.
