Chandigarh: The Election Commission (EC) of India today issued notices to Imran Kidwai, chairman of the minority cell of the Congress and the party to explain their stand on a speech delivered by him at a rally in Chandigarh on March 15. The decision was taken after a meeting of the Election Commission in Delhi.
...Welcoming the decision, Satya Pal Jain, BJP candidate from the city, said the speech was inflammatory. “We welcome the decision taken by the EC. The comments made by Kidwai in the presence of Union Minister of State for Finance Pawan Kumar Bansal were in bad taste.
To have said that a fatwa should be issued against Muslims who vote for BJP was an insult to the community,” said Jain.
