The Election Commission of India (ECI) barred Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Rahul Sinha from campaigning for 48 hours over his “highly provocative” statements during a speech that was telecast on a news channel. The ECI said Sinha made “highly provocative statements mocking the human life, inciting the forces that could have serious law and order implications thereby adversely affecting the election process.”
The poll body, which has asked the leader to explain his stand by 10am tomorrow, said in the order that it had decided not to give any notice to the leader “due to the urgency of the matter.”
