The Election Commission of India today asked Twitter to remove tweets, which it perceives as communal, by BJP’s Kapil Mishra, a former AAP legislator, ahead of next month’s Delhi assembly elections.<\/p>\n
In a series of tweets over the last two days, Mishra had lashed out at the protests in the national capital’s Shaheen Bagh against the Citizenship Amendment Act.<\/p>\n
In his tweet yesterday, Mishra had referred to Shaheen Bagh protests as an entry point for Pakistan. “Pakistan is entering through Shaheen Bagh and mini-Pakistans are being created in Delhi…Shaheen Bagh, Chand Bagh, Inderlok. The law is not followed here and Pakistani rioters are occupying the roads,” he had tweeted in Hindi.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of women have been camping on the road for about 40 days now. The police have closed the Shaheen Bagh-Kalindi Kunj stretch causing inconvenience to commuters.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Kapil Mishra, who had joined the BJP last August, received a notice from the Election Commission for another tweet that likened Delhi Polls to ‘India vs Pakistan’ contest.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndia vs Pakistan, 8 February, Delhi. India and Pakistan will compete on the streets of Delhi,\u201d Kapil Mishra, a former minister in Arvind Kejriwal\u2019s Delhi cabinet had tweeted.<\/p>\n
