“The motion we have brought forward today is aimed at safeguarding the dignity of a constitutional institution,” Kharge said.
“Our intention is for the Election Commission to function impartially, in line with the spirit of the constitution.”
Under the constitution, the chief election commissioner can only be removed through a parliamentary process requiring a special majority.
Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said the opposition had resorted to the symbolic exercise as they “have nowhere else to go”.
“We have no other option. Every single institution… is closed for us,” Gandhi said.
The event came a day before a major opposition rally in Delhi backed by the Cockroach Janta Party, an online youth-led movement that also supports the campaign against the voter-roll revision.
Home Minister Amit Shah said the BJP was ready to hold a special session of parliament to discuss the revision.
“But they (the opposition) have no intention of speaking there. They refuse to let the parliament function. Instead, they just create a ruckus,” he said.
