Amid opposition allegations of targeting opposition leaders by central investigative agencies during the Lok Sabha elections, the Election Commission on Tuesday said the commission is committed to upholding equal rights. The committee emphasized that it is not right to take any step that overlaps with legal and legal proceedings. Let us tell you, many political parties included in the Indian Union have demanded that the Election Commission intervene in the alleged misuse of investigative agencies by the central government to target their leaders in corruption cases.
The Election Commission said in a statement published on Tuesday that this action was done on constitutional grounds in light of the current situation. The operation was done on the basis of court orders and an investigation. In a statement, the commission said that we are committed to protecting the level playing field of political parties and candidates, but taking any step that overlaps or overrides the legal process is wrong.
