Ansari barred from polls
LUCKNOW, March 25: The Allahabad High Court has denied permission to jailed mafia don Mukhtar Ansari to file his nomination papers for the Lok Sabha election. The Bahujan Samaj Party had named Ansari its LS candidate from Varanasi. Ansari is currently lodged in Ghazipur Jail for the murder of BJP MLA Krishnanand Rai. He was supposed to file his nomination papers tomorrow.Responding to Ansari’s application, the Court said that since he was under judicial custody, his voting rights are automatically suspended. The jailed don has over two dozen criminal charges pending against him, including murder, attempt to murder, loot, land grabbing and extortion. n SNS
After Patna High Court shooting down Shahabuddin's electoral aspirations, Allahbad High Cout has followed suit by killing Mukhtar Ansari's hopes.
I must thank both the High Courts for having done their duty.
But the question arises as to how these type of criminals could make such appeals.
Persons who have committed heinous crimes against the nation or against humanity should not have recourse to such appeals.
Among these crimes could be:
Dacoity, rape, murder or attempt to murder, terrorism, drug traficking, manufacture or selling of spurious drugs, adulteration of food items which could result in death or disablement, extortion with threat of death, smuggling or dealing in counterfeit currency to destroy India's economy.
All the above crimes should be non-bailable and debar a person from elections.
