The Election Commission Thursday imposed a 24-hour campaigning ban on West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh over his remark that more “Cooch Behar-like killings may happen if naughty boys like the ones who received bullets in Sitalkuchi” try to take the law into their hands.
In its order, the poll panel said after assessing Dilip Ghosh's reply to its notice, it is of the view that he violated the Model Code of Conduct by making "highly provocative and inciteful remarks" in his election speeches.
The Election Commission had issued a notice to Dilip Ghosh over his controversial remarks on the Cooch Behar firing incident in which four people were killed and seven injured last Saturday.
