Who are debarred from contesting election?
Answers
Answer:
election are helps public to choose their leader, in every 5 years
The law ministry’s draft covered criminal offences carrying jail terms of more than five years as well as corruption charges, provided the chargesheet was filed against the candidate at least a year before the relevant election.
The excuse political parties trot out against the proposed amendment to debar criminals from electoral politics is as old and tired as it is bogus – viz, that most such criminal charges are politically motivated and spuriously filed by opposition rivals.
The argument is bogus because the new amendment would debar only those candidates with a court-framed chargesheet for crimes that carry a prison sentence of more than five years. When a magistrate frames charges it implies that “judicial mind” has been applied to the case, taking full account of political motives and the gravity of the alleged crime.
