BJP challenges EC directive banning screening of Kargil film

8220;Who can give guarantee that Pakistan would sic not do anything tomorrow. The film was aimed at boosting the morale of the forces,8221; he said.

To a question on the Commission asking political parties not to make Kargil a poll plank, he said, 8220;National security is an issue for the coming polls and all facets of the matter will be discussed notwithstanding the Commission8217;s stand.8221;

The Election Commission had yesterday barred the screening of a Kargil documentary, saying that will not be 8220;in consonance with the code of conduct8221;.

8220;The internationally acclaimed neutrality of Indian armed forces should not in any direct or indirect manner be brought into comment and criticism,8221; it had said, adding the Defence Ministry and Minister George Fernandes 8220;should keep this in mind8221;.
