BJP moves ECI against "slanderous" attacks on it leaders

New Delhi, Apr 29 (IBNS): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday moved the Election Commission of India (ECI) against the recent "slanderous" attacks made on its leaders.
"We also like to draw the attention of the ECI to the continuing slander in derogatory language of our leaders, especially our PM candidate. Dr Farooq Abdullah made the lofty statement that those who vote for Modi deserve to be thrown into the sea; Derek Obrian, Hon'ble MP of the Trinamool Congress went ecstatic in naming Shri Modi as the butcher of Gujarat; Priyankara Vadra, a keen observer of rodents likened the BJP to panic ridden frightened rats," the party said in its memorandum to the ECI.
 
"All the canons of sobriety and decency in electoral behaviour, assiduously built into the fabric of a code of conduct over years of toil by the Commission have been thrown to the winds during a month of campaign, making it an uphill task for the Commission to pick up the shreds of the battered MCC, post the Lok Sabha elections," it said.
 
The BJP, therefore, requested the Commission to take cognizance of the issues.
 
 "We request the Commission to issue notice to the delinquents and set the house in order," it said.
