The Election Commission on Thursday issued a strict warning to Congress Lok Sabha candidate and former Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi for calling the recent militant attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district a “stunt” to help the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Hindustan Times reported.
The Congress has fielded Channi from the Jalandhar Lok Sabha constituency, where polling is scheduled to take place in the seventh phase on June 1.
A spokesperson for Punjab’s chief electoral officer on Thursday said that Channi had been asked to provide an explanation for his remarks on the attack to the district election officer of Jalandhar.
