EC frowned on this however makes use of martyr icon in its Bengal advert
The Election Commission Saturday invoked the armed forces in its print commercial urging West Bengal’s electors to return out and vote, even because it advises political leaders and candidates to desist from making any reference to Defence personnel of their ballot marketing campaign.
The advert that appeared on the day of the fourth section of polling shows the silhouette of the ‘Amar Jawan Jyoti’ and a sketch of cartoonist RK Laxman’s ‘Common Man’ as paying homage to the fallen soldier. The advert asks the reader: “They sacrifice for their country. Can’t you even vote for the country?”
It then goes on to state, “Vote is not only your right, but also your duty. Cast your vote fearlessly.”
The Amar Jawan Jyoti was constructed after the 1971 warfare to commemorate the martyred and unknown troopers of the Indian armed forces who died through the warfare.
