The Election Commission, through its letter, has banned Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)’s campaign song ‘Jail Ka Jawab Vote Se Denge’.
Giving information on Sunday, Atishi, a minister in Delhi’s Kejriwal government, said that this would be the first time that the Election Commission has banned the ‘campaign song’ of a political party. There is no violation of code of conduct anywhere in our campaign song.
Aam Aadmi Party said that the election code of conduct is being flouted every day by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) but, the Election Commission does nothing on that.
If opposition leaders are put in jail using ED and CBI, the Election Commission has no objection to that. But, when Aam Aadmi Party writes this fact in the song, then it creates problem. She says that ‘we will answer the jail by voting’, this shows the ruling party and the investigating agencies in a ‘poor light’.
Attacking the Election Commission, Atishi said that you will not change the head of CBI, ED.
He said, the head of income tax will not be changed. The attacks on the opposition will not be stopped during the elections. But, if someone says in the campaign that false arrests are being made, then the Election Commission has objection to it. Today once again the proof of dictatorship has been placed in front of the country said Atishi adding that . Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was arrested after the announcement of Lok Sabha elections.
Aam Aadmi Party says that the way Congress’s bank accounts were seized and the way the campaign song of Aam Aadmi Party has been stopped, it is clearly visible that today the democracy of this country is in danger. We would like to remind the Election Commission that you people are the successors of officers of impeccable integrity like former Chief Election Commissioners TN Seshan. Even after so many years, he is remembered for impeccable integrity and conducting fair elections in the country with every Indian lauding him to the core including the political leaders, intellectuals, and commoners of the country across spectrum.
