why should he say this in any moslem country? he is fighting an election in some desert country? Moreover every one with patriotism feels he is right.you are a born joker.
Let us not politise what the EC has done and learn to put things in perspective and not get carried away.
What Varun has done is against law spreading hatred during election campagin. EC cannot by law disqualify Varun from contesting, if he wants to or if BJP wants to. But prime facie EC has found evidence which will go to court. It is only EC recommendation that if BJP allows him and it means that BJP has endorsed what Varun has said. After court takes action, it may be Varun along with BJP will be disqualified since they have endorsed the view of Varun a party candidate.

its not B*J*P politicisint EC but cong and EC itself policising! when there is no proof and he keeps saying the CD doctored, what morale the EC has to tagg him? Why do EC take action agains the corrupts and goons? Chndrababu Naidu blame YS Reddy with proofs of corruption but no action yet and no media talks abt it. When the higher post like president, CEC/EC... politicised, this is what your a going to see!

Varun is not guilty. Since the villages he visited had no toilet, he was forced to emmit his excreta from mouth in public.

All varun said was " Jo hath hidu ke khilaf uthega, main use kaat dalunga.", what is communal in this statement? what is anti - muslim in this statement? why should muslims feel insecured ?

Unfortuantely under our law, they have to be convicted for more then 2 years to be disqualified to contest election. EC cannot do anything. Let us not get carried away.
There is something wrong with our judicairy system which takes several decades to decide on such cases. Till then this crimials are free to contest election.
Varun will also get benifit of court case going on for years and can keep spreading hatred, till court decides the issue. That is unfortuatne.
But the quesiton is with all this going on, what sort of India we will have after 20 years?
All varun said was " Jo hath hidu ke khilaf uthega, main use kaat dalunga.", what is communal in this statement? what is anti - muslim in this statement? why should muslims feel insecured ?
EC itself admitted that it cannot debar Mr.Varun Gandhi from contesting election, then how it can advice? When day in and day out Mr.RajTachkrey is fuming statements at public meetings giving rise to hatred between people belonging to differents states particularly northern states, Bihar, UP, why EC is not stepping in and cancelling the party's registration? Why the Govt. is a silent spectator? Why cannot our legal pundits make him responsible? Why cannot EC debar criminals from contesting Elections? How Mr.Sibhu Soren became CM or continuing as mP even after his conviction? Ofcourse he got releif from the judgement of SC. How others who are in jails are continuing as MPs and attending Parliament Sessions with special permission form Courts? First there should be some reforms on these issues before signling out Mr.Varun Gandhi and advising the parties not to field him on their behalf. an EC prevent him from contesting as an Indpenedent Candidate and get support from BJP lyolists of Mr.Sanjay Gandhi in Congress and other parties?

Known goondas Mohd shahabuddin, taslimuddin, Pappu yadav, etc have several murders and rape cases against them. they are contesting. since they belong to UPA, Election commision doesnt take any action against them.
Just for some statements, EC is trying to kick Varun.
Is giving statements more serious crime than rapes and murders ?
