The BJP on Monday urged the Election Commission to ban Punjab Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu from campaigning in the Assembly polls and register a criminal case against him and his party, alleging that he was promoting hatred and division in society with his comments.
A BJP delegation, including Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, met the EC with a memorandum and claimed that Mr. Sidhu had insulted Brahmins with a "derogatory" reference to divide the Punjabis.
