New Delhi, Aug 19: Nationalist Congress Party today
termed as "dictatorial and undemocratic attitude" the NDA
government's decision to refer to president A P J Abdul Kalam
the election commission's order to defer the polls in Gujarat
till November-December this year.
Condemning the government for referring the issue to the
president, NCP general secretary Tariq Anwar, in a statement
here, said this was nothing but "a confrontation with a
constitutional body like the Election Commission."
Reminding Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani of his
statement that government would abide by Election Commission's
decisions, Anwar sought to know what had happened to his
promise.
"What BJP is doing is nothing new on its part as the
party has also taken a confrontationist attitude with two
other constitutional bodies, minority commission and national
Human Rights Commission, which have given unfavourable
reports against the role of Gujarat government in riots," he
added.
