Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh’s election challenged

Chandigarh, July 22

Amritpal Singh’s election from Khadoor Sahib parliamentary constituency was today challenged in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, among other things, on the ground of “concealment of required particulars in the affidavit filed with the nomination papers”.

In his petition, Vikramjit Singh, who contested the elections, also alleged violation of the election expenditure rules, “including non-disclosure of expenses on voter slips, public meetings, vehicles, social media, and paid news”.

He also sought the setting aside of the election on the allegations that the returned candidate engaged in corrupt practices by seeking votes on religious grounds and using religious places for campaign purposes.
