On 13th February, 2020 the Supreme Court had directed political parties to list out reasons on their website including their social media platforms for nominating candidates with criminal background within 72 hours of the selection of such candidates. ADR’s analysis of the publication of criminal antecedents by political parties revealed major shortcomings in the implementation of the SC judgement. With this in view, Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) is organising a webinar on "Publication of criminal cases against candidates selected by political parties along with reasons for such selection" on 10th June 2021 from 3 PM onwards.
Moderator: Maj Gen Anil Verma (Retd.), Head of Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) & National Election Watch
Speakers:
- Shri Sukhendu Sekhar Ray, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) from West Bengal, AITC Member
- Hon'ble Mr Justice Madan Bhimarao Lokur, Former Judge, Supreme Court of India
- Shri OP Rawat, Former Chief Election Commissioner
