Srinagar- A day ahead of the voting for the second phase of J&K Assembly Elections, PDP contesting candidate Aga Syed Muntazir Mehdi on Tuesday accused the JKNC of violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) by “illegal distribution of money” and “intimidation” of voters in Budgam assembly constituency.
Muntazir, in a letter addressed to the Chief Election Commission of India, said, “I am writing to bring to your urgent notice that JKNC is involved in manipulating the election process and violating the moral code of conduct set by the Election Commission of India. While, it is pertinent to mention that JKNC is seen using the power of its elected members to intimidate the voters. Rampant and illegal distribution of money is taking place and people associated with my party and my supporters are threatened of the consequences on the day of polling and later.”
These measures during such a critical time raises serious questions regarding the impartiality of the District Administration and Police, especially CEO of Budgam and questions the conduct of free and fair election, PDP’S Muntazir added.
“I, therefore, urge you to take immediate action and deploy substantial election personnel that investigate and prevent such illegal use of constitutional position and measures to affect the peaceful conduct of the election process. I thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to your swift action in this matter,” Mehdi wrote in the letter.
