The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Yesterday (June 17th) joined the political slugfest over the electronic voting machines (EVMs), saying the Supreme Court and the Election Commission need to take a drastic decision on the issue.
The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, rejected a plea for reserved seats in the Lok Sabha for individuals with disabilities, questioning the need for disclosing disability status in nomination forms. The court deemed it a policy matter and dismissed the petition, filed by Jayant Raghav. The Lok Sabha is the lower house of India’s bicameral parliament.
