The Election Commission has proposed reducing the limited for anonymous donations from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 2000, which could be further brought down. It wants to amend the Represent the People Act, 1951 to ensure political parties maintain all accounts of donations and submit audited accounts annually. It said that some funding comes from small donors but bulk of it comes from large donors. Parties should go for computerization to track all funds receipt and expenses to the last paisa. EC feels if crores of citizens have to face hardships due to demonetization, then political parties should also clean-up. As every citizen is being asked to account for every Rs 500 or Rs 1,000 note, merchants and traders are asked to go cashless, political parties also need to become fully transparent. All points are reasonable and the EC should start implementing them.

Your Opinion

In 1989-90, with Rajiv Gandhi as PM and Farooq Abdullah as CM, 400,000 Kashmiri Pandits, Sikhs & Others FACED GENOCIDE - were slaughtered or forced to leave Kashmir overnight. "The Kashmir Files" shows only a small part of this. Should a Kashmir Genocide Law be made and the atrocities be fully investigated?

आपकी राय

1989-90 में, राजीव गांधी के प्रधान मंत्री और फारूक अब्दुल्ला के मुख्यमंत्री के रूप में, 400,000 कश्मीरी पंडितों, सिखों और अन्य लोगों को नरसंहार का सामना करना पड़ा - या तो रातों-रात कश्मीर छोड़ने के लिए मजबूर होना पड़ा । "द कश्मीर फाइल्स" इसका एक छोटा सा हिस्सा ही दिखाता है। क्या कश्मीर में हुए नरसंहार पर कानून बनाया जाना चाहिए और अत्याचारों की पूरी जांच होनी चाहिए?
