To

The Chief Election Commissioner

Election Commission of India,

New Delhi.

 

Subject: Complaint on RSS-BJP meeting with National Security Advisor 

               Ajit Doval in Delhi. 

              

Sir, 

         I am attaching herewith one news-clippings under caption "Tin
Rajyer Nirbachan Niye Baithake BJP-RSS Netara" of "Daily Desher Katha", an
Agartala based daily newspaper, dated 15th January, 2018 and a PTI news
item, on 14th January, 2018. The news item quoting PTI, reports that on 14th
January, 2018, the central BJP leaders including Mr. Rajnath Singh, Union
Home Minister, Mr. Ram Madhav, in charge of looking over party's affairs in
North East and  senior RSS leader Krishna Gopal had met in a meeting at the
residence of the Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and, according to the
report, Mr. Ajit Doval, National Security Advisor was also present in that
meeting. 

 

        The report says, the meeting was convened purely on political
purpose, i.e. to evolve electoral strategy of the BJP in the forthcoming
Assembly elections in Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland. Presence of any
person holding very important position like that of National Security
Advisor is not only undesirable and objectionable, it is a glaring instance
of  blatant misuse of administration by the ruling party at the centre for
garnering political mileage in the elections. Thus such misuse of
administration is nothing but real threat to the democratic system of the
country. 

 

        You being an authority to oversee that no political party, either
incumbent or in opposition may not get any undue electoral opportunity  by
use of administration,  may I request you kindly to order an appropriate
authority for investigation into the matter and take  stern legal measures
in the event it is found fact in the investigation. 

         

 

                                        Thanking You, 

Yours sincerely, 

 

Sd/-     

  (Bijan Dhar)      

Secretary, CPI(M) 

    Tripura State Committee
