If Sadhvi had cursed Masood Azhar instead, would not have needed surgical strikes: Digvijaya Singh

Will not Contest Digvijay

Bhopal | Congress leader Digvijaya Singh slammed BJP leader Pragya Singh Thakur by saying that is she had cursed Masood Azhar, we would not have needed surgical strikes.

Addressing a rally in Bhopal at Ashok Gardens, he said, “Thakur says she had cursed ATS chief Hemant Karkare, who had given supreme sacrifice for the country and is considered a martyr. There would have been no need of surgical strikes if she had cursed Pakistan based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar.”

He said in a reference to the Pulwama attack mastermind Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar.

Digvijaya Singh further slammed PM Modi,” Prime Minister had said that terrorists were hunted even when they were hiding in hell. But I want to ask him where was he when Pulwama, Pathankot and Uri attacks happened in the country. Why we were not able to get rid of such attacks?”

“In our religion, we say “Har Har Mahadev” but our religious sentiments have been hurt by the BJP as they say Har Har Modi. We all know whose photo will appear on the screen if we type ‘feku’ (liar) on Google,” he added.

Digvijaya Singh will contest from Bhopal directly against BJP leader Pragya Singh Thakur in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

Bhopal will go in voting on May 12, the sixth phase of voting.

The results of the voting will be announced on May 23.

Initiate disciplinary action/prosecution against erring poll officials: HC to EC

TestHostEntry

Chennai | Madras High Court on Saturday directed the Election Commission to initiate disciplinary action or prosecution against PA (General) to Madurai District Collector and two officials for allowing polling staff to enter a storage room where records of the April 18 Lok Sabha polls to the Madurai constituency are kept.

Besides the PA, the Assistant Commissioner of Police (Crime), who was in charge of election duty that day and police personnel present there reportedly allowed a woman tehsildar and three other polling staff to enter the room.

The court directed the EC to take the action on those involved as pointed out by the Enquiry Officer after it observed that “absolutely no action” was taken against the PA (General), of the Collector, the ACP and the policemen post the incident.

The division bench, comprising Justices S Manikumar and Subramonium Prasad, passed the interim order on the petition filed by Su Venkatesan, the CPI(M) candidate who contested in Madurai Parliamentary Constituency.

According to the petitioner, the tehsildar allegedly trespassed into the documents storage room on April 20 without any authority and remained there for three hours.

The petitioner has submitted that three staff members of Madurai Municipal Corporation had also accompanied her.

Alleging that the unlawful incident would not have occurred without the knowledge of District Collector Natarajan, who is the Returning Officer, Venkatesan had sought an interim direction for appointment of a special observer of the rank of an IAS officer for counting the postal ballots.

Besides, the petitioner also sought three-tier security for the counting centre, transfer of the returning officer and appointment of a SIT.

When the bench was inclined to pass an order on District Collector Natarajan, who is also the Returning Officer (RO) and other officials, ECI’s counsel Niranjnan Rajagopalan produced a letter dated April 27 of the EC Secretary.

The letter stated that S Nagarajan would replace Natarajan and Shantha Kumar would be Assistant Returning Officer (ARO) in place of Guru Chandran with immediate effect.

The judges recorded the EC’s submission that disciplinary action would be initiated against the erring RO and ARO in response to it’s observation on whether the Chief Electoral Officer, Tamil Nadu, was powerless in the matter.

The bench said it was not going into the controversy as to who was empowered to initiate disciplinary action or prosecution against the erring officials and posted the matter for further hearing to April 30.
