The Election Commission has stated that insulting, defaming or mudslinging at female candidates contesting the election is strictly prohibited.
Its Chairman Mahinda Deshapriya said the law would be strictly implemented against those who flout this ruling.
He said all candidates are bound to adhere to all the rules and regulations imposed by the Election Commission and anyone who flouts these regulations would be dealt with under paragraph 104 of the Constitution.
Deshapriya noted that safeguarding public property is a responsibility of all state officials, and said they should bear in mind that in the event they fail in their duty, they would have to face dire consequences.
