IUML files complaint with EC over Yogi Adityanath's tweet
Chennai, Apr 5 (PTI): Indian Union Muslim League Saturday
took strong objection over the tweet posted by Uttar Pradesh
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and said it had filed a
complaint with the Election Commission on the matter.
"IUML filed a complaint today with Election Commission
against the malicious tweet of Yogi Adityanath that Muslim
League is a virus. IUML does not need a certificate about its
nationalist or patriotic credentials from any quarters,
including Yogi Adityanath", IUML National General Secretary P
K Kunhalikutty said in a statement.
The IUML is a recognised party in Kerala and has a long
history of upholding the "secular democratic ethos of our
Constitution", he said.
The agenda of creating divisive politics by these "forces"
in this country would not succeed as the people are determined
to expose these forces and their game plans through the mighty
force of the ballot paper, Kunhalikutty said.
He claimed that the entire country recognised and
appreciated the IUML leadership for upholding the secular
fabric and communal harmony of the country.
"Today, faced with several of their own senior leaders
coming out together to expose BJP's dangerous and devious
designs, to cause tensions in the country, the frustrated and
discredited elements like Yogi are trying to malign our
progressive political forces", the IUML leader said.
Stating that Adityanath's statement was highly
objectionable and illegal,Kunhalikutty said IUML has urged the
Election Commission to take appropriate action against such
forces "who are out to tarnish the image and secular
credentials of IUML."
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister had tweeted that the
Muslim League is a virus and the Congress was affected by it.
"Muslim League is a virus. If someone is affected by this
virus, he cannot survive and today main Opposition party
Congress is affected by it. Think, if they win what will
happen? This virus will spread in the entire nation,"
Adityanath had tweeted.
He also brought in the 1857 movement for freedom and its
hero Mangal Pandey.
"In 1857, entire country fought against Britishers with
Mangal Pandey, then this Muslim League virus came and spread
in such a way that the country was divided," he said.
"The same threat is looming over the country again. Green
flags are once again furled. Congress is suffering from Muslim
league virus,remain alert," another of his tweets had said.
