Citing deaths of some persons due to suspected sunstroke, during election rallies, Federation of Tamil Nadu Agriculturists Associations (FTAA) today urged the Election Commissin to ban campaign under scorching sun.
It was the bounden duty of the Election Commission to protect the voters, who were under "wrongful confinement" of political parties under the hot sun, FTAA Secretary S Nallasamy said in a statement here.
The people were being brought in vans from farflung areas, like cattle and were 'lured' with food and liquor, he alleged.
Considering their 'pathetic situation', the EC should immediately take note of such 'confinement' and should allow campaign only in the evenings, Nallasamy said.
