The complete mockery of law by convicted former Haryana chief minister Om Prakash Chautala as constitutional authorities and the judiciary watch helplessly, is an extremely dangerous development for the country’s democracy.
The way Mr Chautala, has been flouting the conditions on which he was granted interim bail by the Delhi High Court, exposes the inadequacies of the country’s legal system in dealing with the rich and the powerful.
What can be more shameful than a leader who was convicted on corruption charges and should have been serving his sentence in jail, is out following a medical report by a private hospital and is now campaigning for his party.
Chautala episode raises a few very serious questions :
1)      Why has the CBI allowed Mr Chautala to stay out of jail till the voting is over in Haryana, despite it being clear on September 25 that he was flouting the bail conditions and taking part in political activities ?
2)      Why is the Election Commission silent on the entire issue particularly when the administrative machinery of a state works under its supervision during elections ?
3)      Have all facts been placed before the Delhi High Court on Chautala bail issue ?
4)      Why is the state administration silent on the entire issue ?
5)      Has the CBI been directed by the central government to go slow on the issue keeping in mind possible post-poll equations ?
Mr Chautala who already has many dubious distinctions attached to his name, already seems set to be making yet another controversial history by perhaps becoming the first political leader to claim the chief minister’s chair despite not even being eligible to contest elections.
 The Aam Aadmi Party demands the immediate intervention of the Election Commission to ensure that the peak election campaign season is not vitiated by elements who are known for their criminal and corrupt antecedents. (ENDS)

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
