EC seeks report on Amit Shah's 'firecrackers' comment

October 30, 2015 20:27

Acting on a complaint lodged against BJP national president Amit Shah's "firecrackers in Pakistan" comment, the state election office today sought report from the returning officer on the remark.

"We have sought report from district magistrates of East and West Champaran regarding the remark of BJP President Amit Shah," Additional Chief Electoral Officer R Lakshmanan told reporters here.

The two officers have been asked to submit the report at the earliest and the election office would decide action based on their reports.

Shah had told an election rally at Raxual on Indo-Nepal border in East Champaran district yesterday that if BJP loses in Bihar Diwali will be celebrated in Pakistan.

He is said to have repeated the same in another rally at Bettiah, headquarter of West Champaran district yesterday itself.
