Amending EPR
We could learn from the media news that the govt. is contemplating amendment to the existing EPR, particularly some clauses to enable the convicts to seek election. In the past the convicted persons who suffered three-year term of imprisonment were barred from seeking election.
The lawyers have observed that it is the voters' right to decide whether they will vote for the convicted persons or not.
My concern is that the loan defaulters may also go to the court on the above plea and can force the govt or the EC to relax the law for them too!
