Imphal, April 27 2019:
Acting on a complaint that certain statements made by Chief Minister N Biren in the course of BJP's campaign for the 17th Lok Sabha election violated model code of conduct, Inner Manipur PC Returning Officer Naorem Praveen has served a show cause to the Chief Minister.
The show cause notice was served yesterday after Congress candidate in Inner Manipur PC O Nabakishore complained that certain statements made by N Biren at an election rally held at Kwakeithel Moirangpurel on April 16 violated model code of conduct.
The notice addressed to the Chief Minister's Personal Secretary specified that arguments as to why the statements made by N Biren shall not be treated as violation of model code of conduct should be furnished by 4 pm of April 29 failing which it would be presumed that the Chief Minister has nothing to say and the matter shall be proceeded ex parte.
