Chandigarh, March, 2014:

Taking a serious note of the slanderous and malicious ‘Mama-Bhanja’ campaign by the BJP, Chandigarh Territorial Congress Committee (CTCC) has submitted a complaint with the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) UT. The party has sought immediate action against the party and requested the Chief Electoral Officer to restrain BJP to indulge in such frivolous campaign.

CTCC president, Mr. B.B. Bahl in a letter to the CEO has while quoting the Model Code of Conduct issued by the Election Commission of India for guidance to political parties and candidates, stated that every political party, contesting candidate and party workers are bound to follow the said Model Code of Conduct.

He has stated that he was shocked to read in newspapers wherein the BJP has declared a launch the said campaign in the city. Quoting a media report he has stated that it is absolutely false allegation against the candidate put up by Indian National Congress Party for Chandigarh seat.

CBI after thorough investigation had found that Sh. Pawan Kumar Bansal had no connection with the alleged transaction. Not only this even the CBI Court in New Delhi, the Court which has taken cognizance of the case has vide order dated March 10 dismissed an application filed by an NGO for directing CBI to investigate the matter against Mr. Pawan Kumar Bansal”, the complaint states.

Mr. Bahl has also pointed out that it has been reported by media that though CBI Court have given a clean chit to former Railway Minister and sitting MP, Mr. Pawan Kumar Bansal in the alleged Rail Gate, the BJP city unit is still raising the issue.

He has added that this campaign of calumny being planned to be launched by BJP in complete violation of the Model Code of Conduct and is being planned to misguide the electorate, besides being outrightly mendacious. The complaint further states that the Congress reserved the right to launch civil as well as criminal proceedings in the court of proper jurisdiction against those who have launched the campaign.
