New Delhi: EC issued show cause notice to BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma for allegedly making threatening remarks against Hagrama Mohilary.
This comes after Congress on Tuesday wrote to the Election Commission alleging that BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma had “threatened” Bodoland People’s Front chief Hagrama Mohilary and demanded that he should be disqualified from contesting the assembly polls and a case should be registered against him.
In a memorandum to the poll panel, the party also demanded that Sarma should be banned from campaigning in the Assam election. “We would like to draw this Commission’s urgent attention towards senior BJP leader, Himanta Biswa Sarma’s open public threats, who foreseeing the looming defeat of his party, has made blatant, scandalous and intimidating statements on March 29 wherein he has openly threatened his opponent party, INC alliance partner and Bodoland People’s Front Chairperson Hagrama Mohilary of sending him to jail by misusing the Central Agency – NIA, which is under the direct administrative control of the BJP-led Central Government,” the memorandum said.
This is a developing story.
