The Himachal Pradesh Congress has lodged another complaint with the Election Commission against state BJP chief Satpal Satti and sought a ban on his campaigning activities till May 19, when Lok Sabha voting ends, for alleged remarks made at a recent rally, party leaders said Saturday.
The EC has already issued three notices to Satti for alleged derogatory remarks during public rallies in different parts of the state.
State Congress president Kuldeep Singh Rathore said another complaint was filed against Satti for using 'chandalchowkri' (gang of rogues) word to describe Congress leaders during an election meeting at Chaura Maidan in Shimla on Thursday.
Rathore said, "Satti has been continuously using derogatory language against Congress leaders, so he should be permanently banned from campaigning for this Lok Sabha elections."
