The commission has asked MNS to take appropriate action on the complaint

“Yes, we have received it but it is not a notice. It is just a letter with complaint copies with the State EC informing us to take appropriate action on the same. According to me, it is unclear about the kind of action state EC expects from us by sending that letter,” MNS General Secretary Shirish Sawant said.

“Both the flags were sent to the EC before the launch. We need more clarity in this letter from the State EC,” he added.
