I.
After holding peaceful protests outside the election official’s office and
timely intervention of the election observer (Mr. Prasad Kumar - +91-
9489576177), the malpractice of AIADMK candidate was discovered and
subsequently Ms. Jothimani Sennimalai was allowed to continue with her
closing day campaign.

In light of the above, Ms. Jothimani Sennimalai discussed the matter with
the election observer and thereafter immediately approached the
Returning Officer for filing a petition against the persons violating the
orders passed in favour of Ms. Jothimani Sennimalai.

but instead threatened that he will lodge a FIR against Ms.
Jothimani’s lawyer and thereafter recommend the
cancellation of Ms. Jothimani’s nomination.
This is yet another example of the high handedness of the party in power
and its allies. This is just another in a series of blatant and brazen
violations that have undermined the sanctity of our electoral laws and the
authority of the Hon’ble Commission. Unsurprisingly, it is always
candidates that belong to the opposition parties that seem to suffer the
consequences of arbitrary decision making.
In keeping with its spirit of timely intervention and taking swift action,
we pray that this Commission passes stern strictures against the
incumbent Member of Parliament from Karur, the Election Officials and
the District Collector conniving with him to sabotage the campaigns of
opposition leaders.
We hope the Commission treats the matter with the attention it deserves.
Warm Regards,
