Thoubal, February 14 2022:
Independent candidate of Lilong AC Md Irshad Hussain has categorically stated that he would take legal actions to ensure the candidature of Lilong AC MLA Y Antas Khan is rejected for including fraudulent documents in filing his nomination paper.
Md Irshad Hussain made the statement while addressing media persons at DC Thoubal after the conclusion of scrutiny of nomination papers.
Md Irshad Hussain further shared that the BJP candidate and MLA of Lilong AC Y Antas Khan had filled in the names of a fake place and school in Form 26 page no 14 and 16 to mislead the people into believing that he cleared Class XII examination in 2006 .
He also stated that Koraltur, Chennai and Ebneger Matrics Higher Secondary School are fake and non-existent.
He asserted that Y Antas Khan has duped the people and has no right to be an MLA.
Moreover, Independent candidate Abdul Manan also accused the former MLA of the same wrong-doing regarding his age.
He shared that according to his nomination papers filed through the years, in 2017 his age was 39, in 2020 by-election it was 42 and in the nomination paper for the ensuing State Assembly election 2022, his age was submitted as 48 .
Addressing the obvious discrepancy in the figures, he added that he would take legal action against former MLA Md Abdul Nasir to ensure that he receives an appropriate punishment.
Meanwhile, Y Antas Khan has clarified that the accusation placed upon him is baseless and false while claiming that no wrongdoing was involved in the filing of his nomination paper.
Further, he pointed out the discrepancy in JD(U) candidate and former MLA Md Abdul Nasir's age as submitted in his nomination papers from 2012 onwards.
