New Delhi, Apr 5 (UNI) Asserting that it had committed nothing wrong, the BJP today said it would furnish its reply to the notice issued by the Election Commission about its publicity CD which allegedly offends Muslim sentiments as per the time frame BJP Vice President Muktar Abbas Naqvi, sought for the reaction of the party about EC serving notice to the party and directing the Uttar Pradesh Chief Election Officer to file an FIR against BJP President and UP BJP leader Lalji Tandon, who were held responsible for the release of the offensive CDs, said the BJP was not 'unduly worried' about the notice as it did not have any malafide intentions. The party had acted in right spirit when the flaw was pointed out by the media, he asserted.

He said the people of Uttar Pradesh would give a befitting reply to the so called 'secular brigade' parties in the polls which spared no opportunity to bash the BJP using the godhra incident and its aftermath. ''The people of Gujarat have made their decision in the past and people of UP will make it now,'' Mr Naqvi, who is campaigning in Agra, told UNI.

Earlier BJP Spokesman Rajiv Pratap Rudy had told the media that the party had identified Mr Manoj Mishra, the Spokesman of the BJP in UP and had initiated disciplinary action against him for the ''inadvertent lapse''. The party would file appropriate reply before the E C. No CD was used for election purposes, he maintained.

The E C taking note of the media reports had directed the Chief Electoral Officer of U P to lodge an FIR against BJP President, U P BJP leader Lalji Tandon and all those responsible for the production of the CD includign those who acted and wrote the script.
