EC notice to AAP, 5 others for de-recognition

March 18, 2015 19:46

The Election Commission today issued showcause notices threatening de-recognition of six political parties, including the Aam Aadmi Party, for failing to file their expenditure statements for the last Lok Sabha polls.

Issuing a stern warning to these parties, the poll-panel has invoked the provisions of section 16(A) of the Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order which empowers the Commission "to suspend or withdraw recognition of a recognised political party" for violation of set norms, even as it gave these parties a final window of 20 days to comply.
