Press Statement The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement: Court Judgement Rejects BJP Stand The judgement of the five-member Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court, on the presidential reference regarding the decision of the Election Commission on the Gujarat elections, is a decisive rejection of the stand taken by the BJP and the Vajpayee government. The judgement has upheld the stand of the Election Commission that under Article 324, it was fully within its powers to decide the date of the elections. The court has rejected the contention of the BJP and the Central government that under Article 174, elections have to be held within a period of six months of the last sitting of the House even if the Assembly is dissolved. The court has stated that this provision does not apply to a House which is dissolved. Further, the court has clarified that it is the duty of the Election Commission to hold elections at the earliest and ruled out the applicability of Article 356 to impose President's rule following any interpretation given to Article 174. The BJP had sought to cash in on the communal situation in Gujarat by ordering an early election. It had needlessly attacked the Election Commission for taking a considered decision not to hold early elections without first ensuring conditions for a free and fair poll. The court judgement has exposed the BJP's opportunist and anti-democratic position.

कांग्रेस सभापति शेरबहादुर देउवाले निर्वाचन आयोगमाथि शंका गर्नुपर्ने बेला भएको बताएका छन् । अदालतले भन्दा पनि निर्वाचन आयोगबाट बदमासी हुनसक्ने भन्दै आयोगको पछिल्लो भूमिकाप्रति प्रश्न उठाए । प्रधानमन्त्रीले चुनाव घोषणा गरिसक्दा पनि आयोगले कुनै तयारी नगरेको र यसबारे प्रतिक्रिया नदिएकोबारे आशंका गर्नुपर्ने भएको देउवाले बताएका छन् । भैरहवामा सोमबार कांग्रेसको विरोध सभालाई सम्बोधन गर्दै यस्तो बताएका हुन् । ‘निर्वाचन आयोगमाथि शंका गर्नुपर्ने बेला भइसकेको छ। किन यसले चुनावको कार्यतालिका प्रकाशित गर्दैन ? सबै पार्टीलाई बोलाएर किन चुनावी कार्यक्रम दिन सक्दैन? अदालतको निर्णय पर्खने काम आयोगको होइन। आयोगले छ महिनाभित्र निर्वाचन गर्छु भनेर जनतालाई भन्नुपर्यो’ सभापति देउवाले भने । आयोगले चुनावबारे कुनै तयारी नगरेको र नबोलेको भन्दै देउवाले यसबारे आपत्ति जनाएका थिए । उनले भनेका छन्, ‘संसद विघटन गरेको ६ महिनाभित्र चुनाव गराइसक्नुपर्छ। तर निर्वाचन आयोगले अझै किन कार्यतालिका ल्याउँदैन? जेठको अन्त्यसम्म चुनाव गर्नैपर्छ। तर निर्वाचन आयोग चुनाव गराउँछु भनेर बोलेकै छैन। बदमासी गर्न सक्छ आयोगले । किन बोल्दैन निर्वाचन आयोग? शंका गर्नुपर्ने बेला भएको छ ।’ अदालतले भन्दा पनि निर्वाचन आयोगले बदमासी गर्नसक्नेमा देउवाले चिन्ता व्यक्त गरेका थिए । तर संसद पुनर्स्थापनाबारे भने देउवाले कुनै प्रतिक्रिया दिएका छैनन् । उनले यसअघि पनि संसद विघटनको मुद्दाबारे अदालतको फैसला पर्खनुपर्ने भन्दैआएका छन् । हामी क्षमा चाहन्छौं यो पोस्ट धेरै पुरानो भएको ले कमेन्ट बक्स बन्द गरेको छौं |
