April 22, 2014

The Election Commission has banned BJP's Giriraj Singh from campaigning in Bihar and Jharkhand for his 'Pakistan' remarks.   Singh had made the remarks at a meeting on Saturday.

 

"Those who want to stop Narendra Modi (from becoming prime minister) are looking towards Pakistan. In the coming days, they will have no place in India. They will only have place in Pakistan," Singh had said."These statements promote feelings of enmity, hatred and ill-will and create disharmony between different communities... and are also likely to disturb peace and public tranquillity," the Election Commission said in a statement on Tuesday.
