The nomination phase for Bhopal Lok Sabha elections, which is included in the third phase, has ended. Scrutiny of nomination papers has also been done. In this process, the nomination papers of AK Jilani, who had filed nomination as an independent candidate from Bhopal Lok Sabha seat, have been cancelled. The Returning Officer has issued this order considering Jilani's nomination as not in accordance with the provisions of Section 33 of the Public Representation Act 1951.

Jilani termed the cancellation of nomination papers as a conspiracy and said that it was a decision taken under the pressure of the ruling party.

He sais that the Returning Officer did not give proper guidance while submitting the nomination. Due to which some shortcomings remained in the nomination papers and on the basis of them his nomination papers have been cancelled. Jilani has complained to the Chief Electoral Officer regarding this matter. He has demanded that action should be taken against this disorder.

Independent candidate Jilani, after complaining to the Election Commission, said in a discussion with the media that he does not expect any relief from the Commission. Therefore they will take this matter to court.
