The INDIA coalition has announced plans to file a case against the 2023 Election Commission Act and is organising ‘Save Democracy’ marches to press the issue.
The INDIA coalition, comprising several opposition parties, has revealed a strategy to challenge the 2023 Election Commission Act in the Supreme Court. The move comes after concerns that the legislation could undermine electoral transparency and democratic safeguards. In parallel, the bloc has announced a series of ‘Save Democracy’ marches across major cities to raise public awareness and pressure lawmakers.
The coalition’s legal team will argue that the Act violates constitutional provisions on free and fair elections. They plan to file a petition in the Supreme Court within the next fortnight, seeking a stay on the law’s implementation.
Opposition leaders have urged voters to participate in the marches, emphasizing the importance of protecting democratic institutions. The Election Commission has yet to respond to the coalition’s allegations.
