The Election Commission on Tuesday barred Gujarat BJP president Jitubhai Vaghani from campaigning activities for 72 hours for using “intemperate and abusive language and alleged violation of the MCC” at a public meeting in Surat on April 7.
Mr. Vaghani had also been restrained from giving any statement to the media.
The decision came about a week after the Lok Sabha elections in the State were over.
