Congress questions EC for not punishing BJP leader who leaked poll date

New Delhi, March 28: The Congress on Wednesday questioned the Election Commission for exonerating BJP s IT head Amit Malviya for leakage of poll dates for Karnataka assembly polls, and also for releasing a "press note explaining BJP s version".Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala tweeted: "Intriguing events on Date Leak and BJP s role appear on ECI website.""First EC gives a clean chit to BJP National IT head by keeping him out of purview of enquiry, yet uploads another Press Note explaining BJP s version! Now, who is putting EC s credibility at stake?" he asked attaching the EC order and the press note.Surjewala earlier, in a tweet, noted that on Tuesday Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi went to EC with BJP IT head s explanation and the poll panel had exonerated Malviya and then ordered an inquiry, and terming it "strange" why Malviya was not questioned.
