The clarification is issued in response to reports on various media platforms that “the website has been temporarily suspended by the Election Commission of India for violation of the Model Code of Conduct.”
The ECI has lifted the Model Code of Conduct from Punjab, Goa, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Manipur, where state assembly elections were held recently.
The Manipur High Court directed advocate general to ascertain from the Election authorities as to whether the requisite permission has been granted by the said date without fail.
Amid tight security, voting for the first phase of the 12th Manipur Assembly elections will take place from 7 am to 4 pm Monday.
A total of 20,70,113 electors will decide the fate of 256 candidates who are in the fray for the Manipur Assembly elections 2022.
Appealing to all candidates, their agents, workers and the public to abide by the set guideline of the Model Code of Conduct, nodal officer, MCC Imphal West Pangambam Shantikumar said citizens can play a responsible role in the conduct of free and fair elections.
Mutum Shyamo Singh is placed under suspension with immediate effect and until further order.
The ECI held separate virtual meetings with the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare; Chief Secretaries and Health Secretaries of Goa, Manipur, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, as also the Chief Electoral Officers of these five poll-bound states.
Manipur CEO Rajesh Agrawal held a meeting will all political parties in the state in Imphal and said that he will hold weekly meetings with political parties in the state on a regular basis.
The Manipur government should support work on the line of the ECI objectives i.e. Covid Safe Election, hassle free comfortable voting experience and maximum voter participation, special secretary (home) H Gyan Prakash said in a statement.
IFP Editorial: It is best that political rallies are banned till the final hours of the poll and ECI gets down to improving the safety measures to be taken on poll day.
All political parties and candidates are advised not to organise any political activities directly related to the by-elections even in the areas adjoining the district or constituency where the by-election are being held, the ECI stated.
In Manipur, a leader in a civil society organisation is more powerful than an opposition MLA.
