New Delhi: In a major relief to Narendra Modi’s close aide Amit Shah, the Election Commission on Thursday lifted its ban on his participation in Lok Sabha poll campaign in Uttar Pradesh after he assured that he would not disturb the public tranquility and law and order.
The EC allowed Mr Shah to hold public meetings, public rallies and roadshows and take out public processions in UP, an EC order said.
On Wednesday, the EC had “censured” Mr Shah for his controversial “revenge” remarks.
On April 11, it had ordered the UP government to ban Mr Shah and UP minister Azam Khan from campaigning following their controversial remarks. Mr Shah had landed in a controversy for his remarks that the election is an opportunity to seek “revenge for the insult” inflicted during the riots. “ln your representation, you have stated that you undertake on oath that I shall not use abusive or derogatory language in the campaign,” the EC said.
