New Delhi: The Election Commission on Saturday granted four more days to Narendra Modi to reply to its notice over his “khooni panja” (bloody claw) remark made during campaigning for Chhattisgarh polls after he sought more time.

The Commission, after deliberating on the matter, has asked Modi to now reply to its notice by 11.30 AM on November 20 and granted him more time as sought by him. He was to reply by Saturday morning, but Modi and the BJP sought additional time of a week to reply to the EC notice as the Gujarat Chief Minister was busy campaigning for elections. The EC had issued a notice to Modi on November 13 to reply as to why action should not be initiated against him for his “khooni panja” remarks, allegedly in reference to the Congress poll symbol, which is a picture of a hand.
