JAMMU, Apr 26: Chairman of Ikkjutt Jammu, Ankur Sharma appealed the Election Commission of India (ECI) to take serious note of the brazen anti-India election campaign of Farooq Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti and forthwith cancel their candidatures for the parliamentary elections.
“National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti have been indulging in pro-Pakistan election campaign in recent times. How could ECI close its eyes to this serious development and choose to ignore the violation of Model Code of Conduct (MCC)?,” Ankur Sharma questioned while addressing a press conference at Jammu.
Sharma said that ECI has consciously failed to take note of Mehbooba Mufti’s public statements supporting banned terror organization Jamaat-e-Islami and opposing arrest of Yasin Malik of banned organization JKLF, besides her repeated public utterances that Pakistan has also not kept its Nuclear Bombs for Eid.
“ECI has been taking suo-motu notice of many acts of candidates in the present parliamentary election which fall within the purview of violation of MCC but it has chosen to close its eyes and ears to the brazen anti-India campaign of both NC and PDP in Kashmir. This has helped into transforming the democratic process into a subversive process,” Sharma said.
“How could election campaign be allowed to operate outside the boundaries of Constitution of India,” Ankur Sharma asked. He said toleration of anti-India campaign by ECI does not cover it with glory but only with a permissiveness to allow anti-democratic forces to enter into election fray so that democracy is damaged from within.
Sharma demanded that Mehbooba Mufti and Farooq Abdullah must be banned from contesting the elections forthwith to prevent democratic process to be eaten by termites from within.
