EC lets off Naqvi with warning for ‘Modiji ki sena’

Friday, 19 April 2019 | PNS | New Delhi

The Election Commission (EC) on Thursday let off Minority Affairs Minister and BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi with a light rap for his “Modiji ki sena” remark and “warned” him against using the armed forces for political propaganda. It also asked him to be “careful in the future”.

Addressing a rally in Rampur on April 3, Naqvi had used the phrase “Modiji ki sena”. State election authorities had issued him a showcause notice, to which Naqvi had accepted the charge.

The EC reminded the BJP leader of its March 19 instruction asking politicians “to desist from using any reference to defence forces in their political campaign/propaganda”. Earlier, the EC had let Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath off hook with a warning for “Modi ki Sena” remarks.
