Bajwa questions SEC’s ‘inaction’ over complaints
Leader of the Opposition in the state Assembly Partap Singh Bajwa on Saturday accused “complete inaction” by the State Election Commission (SEC) on written representations alleging misuse of police machinery, voter intimidation and attempts to vitiate the rural polls.
Bajwa said over 24 hours have passed since he formally wrote to the State Election Commissioner, placing on record apprehensions about violence, booth capturing, vote rigging and partisan policing at sensitive polling stations across Gurdaspur.
He had sought deployment of adequate security forces, quick reaction teams, mandatory CCTV coverage with live streaming on the commission website.
