NEW DELHI: The Election Commission, on Thursday, gave Prime Minister Narendra Modi a clean chit for the third time in three days, for his ‘our nuke is not for Diwali’ remark in a rally at Barmer in Rajasthan on April 21.
“The Commission is of the view that in this matter no such violation of the extant advisories/provisions is attracted”, the poll body said.
Mr Modi, while addressing an election rally on April 21, stated that “the country has stopped getting scared of Pakistan’s threats. Else every other day Pakistan used to say ‘we have nuclear button. What do we have then? Have we kept it for Diwali”?
The opposition Congress had moved the Commission alleging that the prime minister ‘brazenly’ violated the poll code by continuously invoking the Defence forces in his speeches. (AGENCIES)
