Online petition to the Election Commission re Communaly Sensitive Posters in Indian Railways run Trains

It has been brought to our notice that hundreds, if not thousands of posters (Image Pasted with petition ) have suddenly been observed in all trains leaving Gujarat state. The contents of these posters with the provocative heading “Why is There a Conspiracy Against Sadhu Sants in Bharat?” is a clearcut effort to communalise the atmosphere ahead of the state elections in over five states and also impact on the next year’s general elections.

It may be recalled that on the eve of the last state elections in Uttar Pradesh, the BJP had officially circulated a CD that contained malevolent utterances against the Muslim minority community. The Election Commission had initiated prompt and immediate action in this regard. This is being pointed out to illustrate that there is an established pattern to this and this is not an isolated incident
