The Special MP/MLA Court of Sultanpur in Uttar Pradesh has summoned former ministers of Delhi government, including former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and poet Kumar Vishwas, on May 15 in a case of Model Code of Conduct violation. Special government lawyer Kalika Prasad Mishra said that the court on Friday, taking a strict stance in this case related to the year 2014, has issued summons to all the accused.
Kumar Vishwas was AAP’s candidate from Amethi.
Kalika Prasad Mishra told that this matter is of May 6, 2014, when Kumar Vishwas was the Aam Aadmi Party candidate from Amethi Lok Sabha constituency. It is alleged that during the election campaign, the then Kotwal Mohammad Hameed had instructed him and his supporters to leave the area, as they were not voters of that area.
Police had registered a case of violation of code of conduct
According to the rules of the Election Commission, outsiders are prohibited from staying in the constituency 48 hours before voting. The police had registered a case of code of conduct violation against Kumar Vishwas, then minister Satyendar Jain, Somnath Bharti and their supporters for not leaving the area despite repeated instructions from the administration.
