Delhi High Court Denies Plea to Disqualify PM Modi from Contesting Polls for Six Years

On Monday, the Delhi High Court denied a request to bar Prime Minister Narendra Modi from running for office for six years.

In response to allegations that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had violated the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) by allegedly soliciting votes in the name of “god and place of worship” during a recent speech in Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh, the Delhi High Court on Monday rejected a plea that sought to bar Modi from running for office ever again for six years. The plea has no merit, according to the Supreme Court.

The petitioner had contacted the court while the Election Commission had not yet made a decision regarding his representation, and the judge believed that the plea was “thoroughly misconceived.”

The petitioner assumes that the MCC has been broken. This is irrational. According to the ruling, a bench of Judge Sachin Datta rejected the plea because it lacked merit.

The prime minister was recently accused by the Congress of being an “infiltrator” against Muslims during a vote rally in Rajasthan, leading to a complaint being filed with the Election Commission.

“According to the Congress manifesto, they would share the property after calculating the gold with mothers and sisters and gathering information about it. They’ll give it to the following person: Modi had stated that Muslims had the primary claim to the nation’s resources, as stated by the government of Manmohan Singh.

“Muslims have the first claim to the nation’s resources, according to statements made before by their (the Congress) administration. In other words, who will receive this property? The people with the most children will receive it. It will be given out to the spies. Should the infiltrators receive your hard-earned money? Do you think this is okay? He continued.
