Election Commission Censures Dilip Ghosh, Supriya Shrinate For Derogatory Remarks Against Women

New Delhi: As the model code of conduct is in force, the Election Commission on Monday censured BJP MP Dilip Ghosh and Congress leader Supriya Shrinate for derogatory remarks against women. The Commission, in its order after the receipt of their replies to notices issued to them over MCC violations, said they are convinced that they made a personal attack and thus violated the provisions of the Model Code of Conduct.

The EC said these two leaders have been warned to remain careful in public utterances during the Model Code of Conduct period. “Their election-related communications will be specially and additionally monitored by the Commission from this time onwards,” the EC said in a statement.

A copy of the warning notice is also marked to party chiefs for sensitising their functionaries to be careful while communicating in the public domain and refrain from any such derogatory comments and violations of MCC guidelines.
