Taking serious view of laxity by parties/candidates in adhering to EC guidelines on social distancing in public meetings for Bihar poll and other bypolls, EC reiterates need to keep crowd discipline and advises parties to demonstrate utmost care and vigil during electioneering
EC: Instances of such public meetings have come to notice of the Commission, where large number of crowds have assembled in utter violation of social distancing and the political leaders/campaigners are addressing the gathering without wearing masks...contd
"By doing so, the political parties and candidates are not only flouting the guidelines of the Commission with impunity, but exposing themselves as well as the public attending the rallies/meetings to the danger of infection during the pandemic"

MHA statement on Amnesty issue: The stand taken and the statements made by Amnesty International are unfortunate, exaggerated and far from the truth.
MHA: Amnesty International had received permission under FCRA only once & that too 20 years ago (19.12.2000). Since then Amnesty International, despite its repeated applications, has been denied FCRA approval by successive governments since as per law it is not eligible
