BJP's 'Har Bachche Ki Pukaar' Video Triggers EC Notice
BJP Shares Controversial Video
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has taken serious note of a video posted on Twitter by the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Haryana unit. The video, titled "Har Bachche Ki Pukaar," features children appealing for votes for the BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
EC Issues Notice
The ECI has issued a notice to the BJP, seeking an explanation for the video. The Commission has also directed the party to remove the video from social media platforms. The ECI has stated that the video violates the Model Code of Conduct, which prohibits political parties from using children in election campaigns.
BJP Defends Video
The BJP has defended the video, claiming that it does not violate any rules. The party has argued that the children featured in the video are not being used for political purposes, but are merely expressing their support for the BJP.
EC's Stance
However, the ECI has maintained that the video violates the Model Code of Conduct. The Commission has stated that the children featured in the video are too young to understand the implications of their actions, and that the party should not have used them in its campaign.
Legal Implications
The BJP could face legal action if it fails to comply with the ECI's notice. The Commission has the power to impose fines and other penalties on political parties that violate the Model Code of Conduct.
