RO serves Pawan Bansal show-cause notice

The notice has been issued to Bansal for explaining his position in three days.

The Deputy Commissioner has also issued an advisory to B B Bahl, president of Chandigarh Territorial Congress Committee, following another complaint by the BJP. The complaint states that the women’s wing of Indian National Congress made personal remarks with regard to a matter of personal concern of BJP’s candidate Kirron Kher. The advisory states that the action violated model code of conduct, therefore the party should refrain from making any such comments or else action would be initiated.

B B Bahl said, “I have received the advisory from the DC office. I have talked to the president of the Women’s Wing. She says they have not made any such defamatory statements. I have asked her not to indulge in any action in future that violates the model code of conduct. As far as Pawan Bansal is concerned, he is a very intelligent person who has been a former Cabinet Minister. He chooses his words very carefully. I am sure he could not have violated any law mentioned in the code of conduct.”
