A day after BJP’s Chandigarh candidate Kirron Kher’s sister in-law filed a complaint against her with Election Commission for allegedly filing wrong information about immovable assets in nomination paper, the city Congress unit also hit out at Kher.
Coming down heavily on Kirron, Chandigarh unit of Mahila Congress said that the BJP party candidate has been exposed through this complaint. If Kirron is fighting against her widowed sister-in-law then what would she do for the women in the city.”
Kirron’s widowed sister-in-law Gurindesh Sandhu had on Monday filed a complaint accusing the actor of filing wrong information in her nomination papers. Kher had in her affidavit filed before the returning officer under part A of form 26 had declared that she is a resident of house number 65, Sector 8-A, Chandigarh and that she owns 25 per cent of SCO 18, Sector 17-E Chandigarh. The affidavit signed by Kher is wrong as this is an HUF (Hindu Undivided Family) property and there is no partition till date, stated Sandhu’s complaint. The complaint had stated that the said properties have been challenged in the court and Kher cannot mention/declare the same property which is sub judice before the trial court and the court has kept the mutation of the said properties in abeyance.
In a joint statement issued by lalit Joshi, vice-president, All India Mahila Congress, Meenakshi Chowdhary, President Mahila Congress Chandigarh and other local leaders of Congress women wing said that this shows what will be her attitude towards the electorate. “We do not want her candidature to be cancelled but want to make the electorate aware of what kind of a person she is,” they said.
