72-hr ban on campaigning 'soft' punishment for Yogi: IUML

72-hr ban on campaigning 'soft' punishment for Yogi: IUML

New Delhi, Apr 15 (UNI) While terming as 'too soft a punishment,' the Election Commission's order to ban Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath from campaigning for 72 hours for his 'communal ' remarks, the Indian Union Muslim League on Monday said it would move the Supreme Court, to examine the EC order in detail.
'While we welcome the EC order, a strong condemnation and a 72 hours ban to campaign is too soft a punishment. The order does not even talk about the hate campaign run by the troll army of BJP or banning their social media accounts,' Khorrum Anis Omer, National Secretary of IUML, said in a statement here.
While noting that the order against Mr Adityanath had come in the wake of Monday's SC observation, he said it is contemplating to approach the apex court, for examining the EC order in detail.
