🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳❤️🤍💚⚖️ Kindly Note for Consideration by the @LciDla #LawCommission #RepresentationofthePeopleAct1951 #Reforms The political parties referred to in this note are cited solely as illustrative examples. This note does not seek to draw any conclusion regarding their legal status or recognition by the Election Commission. It has been prepared exclusively for the purpose of discussion on legal and policy reforms. Subject: Need for Legal Reforms Concerning the Registration and Recognition of Political Parties Bearing Direct Religious, Caste, Linguistic, or Ethnic Identities The Constitution of India recognizes secularism as one of its basic structural principles. At the same time, certain political parties registered under the Representation of the People Act, 1951 continue to function under names that directly or indirectly reflect religious identities. Illustrative examples include the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), the Shiromani Akali Dal, the Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), the Hindu Mahasabha, and the Indian Christian Front. While these organizations differ significantly in their history, objectives, legal status, and political activities, their existence raises broader questions concerning the relationship between laws governing the registration of political parties and the constitutional principle of secularism. While seeking votes on the basis of religion, caste, language, or community is treated as a corrupt electoral practice under the Representation of the People Act, 1951 and other election laws, the continued registration and electoral participation of political parties bearing such identities in their names raises important legal and constitutional questions. Therefore, the #LawCommission may consider examining #Section29A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 and other related legal provisions, and evaluate the following Reforms: Introducing statutory restrictions on the registration of new political parties bearing names that directly represent religious, caste, linguistic, or ethnic identities. Establishing clear criteria for examining party names and objectives that may be inconsistent with the constitutional principle of secularism. Granting the Election Commission of India additional scrutiny and regulatory powers concerning the registration and recognition of political parties. Recommending legislative amendments to address and eliminate any inconsistencies between the secular principles embodied in election laws and the provisions governing the registration of political parties. It is also necessary to undertake a comprehensive examination of whether such proposed reforms are consistent with #Article14 of the Constitution guaranteeing equality before law, #Article19(1)(c) guaranteeing the freedom to form associations, and the basic structure doctrine, including the principle of secularism. Accordingly, it is respectfully submitted that the Law Commission of India may undertake a review of the existing legal framework governing the names, registration, recognition, and electoral participation of political parties and consider recommending such legal reforms as may be necessary. @indSupremeCourt @LciDla #Lawcommission #parlimentofindia @MIB_India @PIB_India

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to you today as a deeply concerned Polish citizen to draw your urgent attention to an alarming crackdown on independent media and journalists currently taking place in Poland. Under the current government, we are witnessing a systematic and unprecedented attack on conservative and independent news outlets. The fundamental democratic pillar of a free press is under severe threat. Recent weeks have seen shocking actions carried out by the state apparatus. These include the unjustified arrest of investigative journalists, politically motivated police raids on the private homes of media executives (such as the recent raid on the home of Tomasz Sakiewicz, Editor-in-Chief of "Gazeta Polska" and Telewizja Republika), and the continuous legal and institutional harassment of reporters who dare to expose government irregularities. Furthermore, this campaign of intimidation has escalated to include a wave of orchestrated false alarms (so-called "swatting"), which have been used as a pretext for forceful police interventions in independent editorial offices and the private homes of journalists. Shockingly, this exact tactic was recently used to justify the forced entry of state services into the family home of the President of the Republic of Poland. Adding to this alarming picture are recent, unprecedented court and prosecutorial decisions that lift journalistic secrecy. By attempting to force reporters to reveal their confidential sources, the authorities are dealing a direct and devastating blow to the core of investigative journalism and the public's right to know. These actions are clearly designed to intimidate the journalistic community, silence opposition voices, and create a chilling effect across the country. Because the current Polish government often portrays itself internationally as a defender of democratic values, these authoritarian abuses are frequently overlooked abroad. That is why international awareness and pressure are absolutely crucial right now. We cannot allow these violations to be swept under the rug. I urge you to read the detailed report on these events, which provides concrete evidence of these abuses. You can find the full report in English here: polanddaily24.com/tusk-gover… Please do not ignore this plea. We ask for your solidarity, your scrutiny, and your voice in defending the freedom of speech and the rule of law in Poland. The international community must hold the Polish government accountable for its actions against the free press. Thank you for your time and attention to this critical matter.

No conforme con humillarme demeritando mi profesión como Periodista y negando mi trayectoria porque manejaba bajo perfil como Coordinadora o Directora, causó que me amenazaran de muerte y en @TiktokMxc @paameebee mandó estas 2 indirectas disfrazándose como reportera y burlándose.

When the State uses ED & Police to chase a journalist for years — only for HC to say “baseless allegations” — it’s not a legal failure. It’s a democratic one. Who answers for the years lost? @UN_SPExperts @LiveLaw_in #NewsClick #HumanRights #Article19 telegraphindia.com/india/del…

Kunal Kamra v. Union of India didn't just stay IT Rules 2021 amendments — it revived Shreya Singhal's core holding that intermediaries can't be deputized as speech police. DHC held: govt can't bypass #Article19 (2) by outsourcing censorship to platforms under Rule 3(1)(b)(v).

Roxana Guzmán sigue desaparecida. Ahora liberan a 3 de los 4 presuntos implicados detenidos por el caso! Si con videos, detenciones y presión nacional no hay justicia, ¿qué esperanza le queda al ciudadano común? #Desaparecidos #México @SEGOB_mx @FGRMexico @CNDH @article19

In a republic, argument is welcome. Abuse is not. Dissent is constitutional. Defamation is not. Courage speaks in facts. Cowardice hides behind mobs. The courtroom must now draw that line—sharply, fearlessly and constitutionally.

Dear @BBCUrdu , I appreciate the way you are reporting on Kashmir. At this time, I feel that most of the Pakistani media is not standing with the people of Kashmir or presenting their views fairly. There is hardly any major Pakistani TV channel that provides free, fair, and unbiased coverage of Kashmiri perspectives and concerns. Many Kashmiris believe that their voices, identity, and opinions are often overlooked or misrepresented in mainstream media. This is why your efforts to provide balanced and professional reporting are appreciated. I hope BBC will continue to report on Kashmir objectively and give space to the genuine views and concerns of the Kashmiri people. Thank you for your commitment to fair journalism. #RightsMovementAJK #inklabzindabad #awamiactioncommittee #Newschannels #AlJazeeraEnglish #Reuters #CNN #SkyNews #France24 #DWNews #HumanrightsOrganizations #AmnestyInternational #HumanRightsWatch #InternationalFederationforHumanRights #UnitedNationsHumanRightsOffice #FreedomHouse #InternationalCommissionofJurists #Article19 #FrontLineDefenders #PhysiciansforHumanRight

जो सत्ता से सवाल पूछने, अपनी बात रखने और विचार व्यक्त करने का अधिकार सुनिश्चित करती है। जब नागरिक बोलने से डरने लगें, तब लोकतंत्र कमजोर होने लगता है। इसलिए अनुच्छेद 19 सिर्फ एक कानूनी प्रावधान नहीं, बल्कि लोकतंत्र की आत्मा है। #Article19 #ConstitutionOfIndia #Democracy

We may not agree with Barbell or anyone else’s reviews talking bad about #Peddi. Because we personally loved the film, which is evident from our tweets over the last five days. That said, #Article19 must be respected. No one has the right to silence or suppress voices simply because they hold a different opinion. Freedom of expression is a fundamental part of any democracy.
