The EC also directed the UP chief secretary to ensure that no act of commission or omission is resorted to by BJP leader Amit Shah and UP minister Azam Khan that can affect public tranquility and law and order.
The EC was also critical of the role of Samajwadi Party's government in the state for "soft-pedalling" on registration of FIRs against Khan and not dealing with the sensitive issue with alacrity.
The tough stand was taken by the EC at a top-level meeting of Chief Election Commissioner V S Sampath and election commissioners H S Brahma and S N A Zaidi where the poll body exercised its constitutional powers to prevent the two leaders from further vitiating the poll atmosphere.
"The Commission hereby directs under Article 324 of the Constitution of India and all other powers enabling in this behalf, that necessary FIRs should be immediately filed and criminal proceedings initiated against the above mentioned two leaders, wherever the same have not been instituted so far," the order said.
It also said, "No permission should be granted for holding public meetings, public processions, public rallies, road shows, etc., by the district administration authorities, where the above two leaders are expected or likely to participate."
The EC also directed the chief secretary to ensure compliance of its orders by 5pm of April 12.
The poll body directed the authorities to take all preventive measures against Shah and Khan under the relevant provisions of CrPC to ensure that no act of commission or omission is resorted to by them which has the effect of prejudicially affecting public tranquility and law and order.
SP appeals for reconsideration
Describing Azam Khan as a secular leader, ruling Samajwadi Party appealed to Election Commission (EC) to reconsider imposing ban on the leader from holding public meetings in Uttar Pradesh.
"Azam Khan is a secular leader ... He is being liked by Hindus also while BJP leader Amit Shah is headmaster of communalism ... Treating Khan and Shah on the same barometer is not justified," SP spokesman Rajendra Chowdhury told PTI.
"Khan is a secular leader and worked for Hindu-Muslim unity ... EC should work in unbiased manner and reconsider the decision," Chowdhury said.
