Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy today urged the Election Commission to provide police protection to all 10 party candidates for the April 13 assembly polls after one of them complained of frequently receiving threat calls.
The Janata Party has fielded 10 candidates for the polls.
In a statement here, he said he would also file a petition in the Madras High Court, demanding posting of CRPF and BSF in Tamil Nadu under the Disturbed Areas Act if the Director General of Police does not act to curb this ‘anti-national activity’ of threatening his party candidates.
