Calcutta High Court warns it won’t allow polls on seats that witnessed communal violence
The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday warned that it would not allow voting in Lok Sabha constituencies in West Bengal which witnessed communal violence during the Ram Navami celebrations.
The court’s observation came during a hearing on the violence that took place in Murshidabad on April 17 during a Ram Navami procession.Â
“If people can’t live in peace and harmony, we will say that the Election Commission can’t hold parliamentary elections in these districts. That’s the only way,” the High Court said.
“Despite the Model Code of Conduct being invoked, if two sets of people are fighting like this, they don’t deserve any elected representatives,” it added.
