The Supreme Court today asked the Election Commission to examine grievances raised by sacked BSF jawan Tej Bahadur Yadav, whose nomination against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Varanasi, was cancelled.

A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi asked the counsel for the poll body to seek instructions and apprise it by tomorrow.

In his plea, Tej Bahadur Yadav termed the decision of the Election Commission panel discriminatory and unreasonable and said it should be set aside.

He was fielded by the Samajwadi Party as its candidate from Varanasi seat.
