Political leader Vijayendra alleges that the Congress administration is urging police to register cases against individuals filing Form‑7 applications.
Vijayendra, a political figure, has publicly claimed that the ruling Congress government is exerting pressure on law‑enforcement agencies to initiate criminal proceedings against people who submit Form‑7 applications. He said the alleged interference aims to deter the filing of such applications, which are part of a legal process.
The allegation was made during a press interaction, where Vijayendra urged the authorities to respect the independence of the police and the judicial mechanisms governing Form‑7 matters. He did not provide specific instances or names of officials involved.
No official response from the Congress government or the police has been recorded as of now. The claim adds to ongoing debates about political influence over law‑enforcement actions in the country.
The matter is expected to attract scrutiny from civil society groups monitoring the separation of powers and the fairness of administrative procedures related to Form‑7 applications.
