NEW DELHI: A PIL has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking direction to the Election Commission of India to take steps to ensure that every political party publishes the details regarding criminal cases of each candidate along with a reason for such selection on the Home Page of its official website in the spirit of the apex court judgment.
The plea stated that on January 13, 2022, Samajwadi Party fielded notorious gangster Nahid Hasan from Kairana but neither published his criminal records in electronic, print and social media nor the reason of his selection within 48 hours as per the direction of top court.
