The Congress has complained to President Pranab Mukherjee against BJP's Madhya Pradesh unit for using a photograph showing Army, Navy and Air Force chiefs jointly paying homage to coffins of armymen in an advertisement issued in local dailies on November 9.
Allegedly, the advertisement also narrated "wrong" facts about the situation on the border and using such photographs for political purposes is unprecedented in the political history of the country, MP State Congress joint spokesman Pankaj Chaturvedi said in a statement here today.
Chaturvedi urged the President to take cognisance of the matter and take action in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces.
He also urged the President to ensure a ban on the use of such photographs, to serve political interests and take action against those involved in it.
The advertisement also presented "wrong" facts about the situation on the border, which amounts to "misleading" the electorate, he alleged.
