Should the government consider implementing stricter laws to prevent certain groups from participating in elections
MP Rashid criticized the Jammu and Kashmir L-G for suggesting tougher laws to prevent Jamaat-e-Islami from contesting polls.
- Stricter laws targeting specific groups can be seen as undemocratic and discriminatory.
- Such laws may violate the fundamental right to participate in elections, as enshrined in many countries' constitutions.
- The focus should be on fair electoral processes, transparency, and accountability for all participants, rather than imposing restrictions based on group affiliation.
- Efforts should be made to address concerns about any individual or group engaging in illegal activities through proper investigation and legal processes.
- Citizens should be allowed to support candidates and parties of their choice without fear of arbitrary restrictions.
