EC lifting ban on Shah will strengthen communal forces: Azam Khan

May 05, 2014 19:31

Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan today said the Election Commission's decision to lift ban on BJP leader Amit Shah will "strengthen communal forces and weaken democracy".

Khan alleged that the EC had given relaxation to Shah so that he could get into mudslinging against SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav. "

The EC has given relaxation to Shah so that he could do mud slinging against Mulayam Singh Yadav, weaken Samajwadi Party and strengthen communal forces. This is also the reason for banning me so that persons like Shah could weaken democracy," Khan said in a statement in Lucknow.
