The recent Supreme Court ruling on the power of the Election Commission (EC) has been welcomed by opposition parties in India, with many calling it a “landmark judgment.” The ruling clarified that the EC has the power to impose a ban on individuals found guilty of hate speech during election campaigns.
The case in question involved a politician who had made controversial remarks during a campaign rally in West Bengal. The EC imposed a 24-hour ban on him from campaigning, which was challenged in court. The Supreme Court ultimately upheld the EC’s decision and stated that it was within its power to take such action.
Opposition parties have praised the ruling, with many seeing it as a victory for democracy and free and fair elections. They have also criticized the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for allegedly using hate speech and divisive rhetoric during campaigns. Some have called for stricter enforcement of the EC’s rules on hate speech and for more accountability for politicians who violate them.
Overall, the ruling has been seen as a positive step towards ensuring fair elections in India. It highlights the need for accountability and responsible behavior from politicians during campaigns, and emphasizes the importance of maintaining a level playing field for all candidates.
