Senior BJP leader Jaswant Singh and Samajwadi Party MP Chandra Bhushan Singh have sought Chawla’s removal on the grounds that he would not be able to discharge his duties impartially in view of several allegations of impropriety levelled against him.
The BJP leader referred to the representation of 205 NDA MPs for Chawla’s removal that alleged that he would not be able to do his job in a fair and unbiased manner as the trust run by his wife took donations from Congress MPs’ MPLAD funds.
They have contended that the Government adopted a wrong procedure for giving advice to the President by referring the matter to the Union Cabinet instead of referring it to the EC.
