The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Sunday urged the Election Commission (EC) of India to take strict action against Manpreet Singh Badal for allegedly issuing false and misleading advertisements in the form of paid news in a vernacular daily. A written complaint in this regard was filed by SAD Secretary and Spokesman Dr Daljit Singh Cheema to the EC.
In a statement,Cheema said that this corrupt and unethical move of Manpreet Badal of issuing misleading advertisements in the form of paid news,along with photo of social activist Anna Hazare,will also embarrass the Anna team,who are advocating complete transparency and electoral reforms to cleanse the election system.
In this communication to the EC,the SAD Secretary has stated that the advertisement titled Anna Hazare ate Manpreet Badal da rasta ate udesh iko he is a tool being used by the rejected and lesser known political leaders and parties to mislead the public.
He added that the sole purpose of the paid news advertisement was to create confusion among the public and give an impression that the media has started equating the PPP leader with the Anna Hazare.
