Subramanian Swamy to move court against EC decision on Congress
07 Nov 2012
Janata Party chief Subramanian Swamy today said he would take the issue of the Election Commission's refusal to consider the case for derecognition of the Congress Party over its own disclosure of lending money for a business transaction to the court so that he can get justice.
The Election Commission had rejected his petition for de-recognition of Congress on the ground that the party violated laws by providing a Rs90 crore loan to Associates Journals which ran the now-defunct National Herald newspaper.
Sway said the EC has taken a decision without giving him an opportunity to present his case from a legal point of view.
He said by this act, the EC has suffered a serious loss of credibility.
"In my petition that was before you regarding which you have washed off your hands of conducting an inquiry, and through the motivated leaks to the newspapers in advance of the view you took on my petition.
"The Election Commission has in fact suffered a serious loss of credibility amongst the people. I shall now have to settle the issues in Court," he said.
