 A day after Trinamool’s Saket Gokhale has arrested again, party leader Derek O’Brien has accused the Election Commission of India of “looking away” when a BJP Chief Minister and an actor turned BJP MP spread communal bile during the Gujarat election

New Delhi: Derek O’Brien, the Trinamool leader, has accused the Election Commission of India of “looking away” when a BJP Chief Minister and an actor who later became a BJP MP “spread communal bile during Gujarat election” a day after Trinamool’s Saket Gokhale was arrested once more after being released on bail in an alleged “fake tweet” case against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. That’s why the Supreme Court believes that EC is a stooge, he said.

With a comparative approach, Derek O’Brien stated that Saket Gokkhale was arrested on his way to the airport after securing bail, whereas he alleged, a blind eye was reflected by the Election Commission Of India when BJP leaders escalate to hate speeches.

Derek O’Brien in his tweet said, “BJP CM & an actor turned BJP MP spread communal bile during Gujarat election. What does EC do ? Look away @SaketGokhale of @AITCofficial gets bail in one case filed by Gujarat Police & was on his way to airport. What does EC do? Arrest him

No wonder SC thinks EC is stooge.”

Trinamool party leader did not name anybody but it resembled he directed his remarks towards Assam CM Himamta Biswa Sharma where he commented on “Love Jihad” in reference to Aftab Poonawala; Delhi Murder case. Alongside, looked like the other person was actor Paresh Rawal who drew comments on Bengalis, at an election rally in Gujarat.
