New Delhi: A day after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was let off with a warning by Election Commission for his Modi’s Army remark; Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan on Saturday took on Election body over “inaction”.


Speaking on the same, Khan said “Yogi ji said 'Modi ki fauj hai', Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi also said the same thing, EC did nothing,no action against Kalyan Singh either, but when I had said we will shed last drop of our blood to protect our borders,EC cut off my tongue.”

The leader further questioned “What justice is this?”

The Election Commission on Friday found Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath guilty of violating the model code of conduct (MCC) for his "Modiji ki sena" (Modi's army) remark and warned him to exercise caution in the future.

In an order issued late on Friday, the poll panel said that Adityanath's remark was in violation of its directions not to use the achievements of India's armed forces for political campaigning.

"Since Yogi Adityanath is a senior leader, he should be more careful in his public addresses. Hence, the Commission is not satisfied with his explanation. The Commission advises Yogi Adityanath not to use issues related to the Army for political purposes and to exercise caution in future," the EC order said.
