AAP delegation meets SEC, asks for giving security to contestants for upcoming MC polls in Punjab

Chandigarh, Feb 4 (UNI) The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) delegation Thursday met State Election Commissioner and raised the issue of providing security to the party candidates for the forthcoming municipal bodies' elections and demanded deployment of paramilitary forces for smooth completion of election process and safety of the people of Punjab.
The delegation led by Leader of Opposition (LoP) Harpal Singh Cheema handed over a memorandum to the SEC mentioning the ordeal faced by the Aam Aadmi Party candidates, all over Punjab, following the municipal bodies' elections process.
The delegation expressed grave concern over the alleged use of government machinery and bullying by the ruling Congress party to win the upcoming Municipal Corporation, Municipal Council and Nagar Panchayat elections in Punjab.
Addressing the media, Cheema said several incidents at various districts across the state were reported in which the ruling party allegedly committed blatant hooliganism, intimidated and prevented AAP candidates from filing the nomination papers, thus assassinating democracy. "The law and order situation in the state has been completely destroyed and safety of the people of Punjab and the candidates ahead of the forthcoming municipal bodies' elections is at risk," he said.
To avoid such hooliganism and bullying ahead of the MC elections, the AAP delegation requested the SEC to take necessary action ensuring smooth completion of the election process.
"We have asked the SEC to provide protection to our candidates, so that they can contest the forthcoming municipal bodies' elections without any fear," Cheema said and added that the AAP had also demanded the deployment of paramilitary forces for the safety of the people of Punjab and for free and fair elections.
