Chandigarh, March 12
As per the instructions of the Election Commission of India (ECI) in the matter of publicity of criminal antecedents by contesting candidates as well as political parties nominating such candidates, Punjab Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) S Karuna Raju directed all 22 deputy commissioners-cum-district election officers (DEOs) to take necessary action on their part.
Raju said the ECI had issued "guidelines on the publicity of criminal antecedents by political parties and candidates" and DEOs were directed to circulate that to all the political parties based in the district for strict compliance both by parties and their candidates in all future elections. The political parties at the district level include district units of the recognised national/state political parties and all registered unrecognised political parties with headquarters based in the district to take note of ECI's directions. He said it was emphasised that the candidate/political party failing to publish the declaration in the newspaper shall be issued a notice by the CEO. — TNS
