New Delhi, Nov 22: The Delhi High Court on Friday issued notices to the BJP and the Election Commission on a civil suit seeking directions to the commission to de-recognise the BJP as a political party. Issuing the notices, Justice C K Mahajan posted the matter for hearing in February next year.
The plaintiffs alleged that utterances by the BJP leaders during Gujarat riots amounted to violation of the declaration given to the EC and hence its recognition was liable to be withdrawn. Bureau Report
