There was a huge ruckus between Congress and BJP councilors during the meeting of Chandigarh Municipal Corporation on Tuesday. This commotion became so intense that there was scuffle and sloganeering from both sides.

It is being said that this uproar took place over Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement on BR Ambedkar. In the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation meeting, councilors of Congress and Aam Aadmi Party passed a resolution against Amit Shah and demanded his resignation. After this, BJP councilors alleged that Congress had insulted Ambedkar during Nehru’s time.

During this, some councilors called Anil Masih a vote thief while Masih came to the well and said that Rahul Gandhi is also out on bail. Let us tell you that in January this year, BJP’s Manoj Sonkar got 16 votes in the Chandigarh Mayor’s election. Kuldeep Kumar, the joint candidate of Aam Aadmi Party and Congress, got 12 votes. Eight votes were declared illegal by Returning Officer Anil Masih.

After this election, Congress and AAP approached the Supreme Court. The bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud had made sharp remarks on Anil Masih during the hearing on February 5. The Supreme Court had termed what happened during the Chandigarh Mayor elections as ‘murder’ of democracy and a ‘mockery’. The court had also issued a contempt notice to Anil Masih. Anil Masih had admitted in the court that he had made a cross mark on the ballot paper.

Let us tell you that Anil Masih is accused of cheating with ballot paper in Chandigarh Mayor elections. He had joined BJP only a few years ago.
