On Thursday, the Supreme Court of India has directed the political parties to upload the reason for the selection of candidates with criminal backgrounds on their websites. Also, if these instructions are not followed, the court has allowed the Election Commission to give information against them in the court. In such a situation, if the parties do not follow the instructions of the court, then the Election Commission will bring this matter to the court. The Supreme Court has taken this important decision to stop the criminalization of politics. The court issued a guideline for political parties. The court said that criminalization in politics has increased rapidly in the last four general elections. According to this, if political parties give tickets to a person of criminal background, then criminal details will have to be given on the party's website and on social media. At the same time, they also have to tell why no untainted ticket was given.
