The Delhi High Court dismissed a plea seeking Prime Minister Narendra Modi's disqualification from contesting elections for six years, alleging a violation of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC). The petitioner, Anand S Jondhale, claimed PM Modi made religious references during a Uttar Pradesh rally. The court termed the plea "thoroughly misconceived," stating it cannot direct the Election Commission's stance on complaints. It highlighted the Commission's autonomy in assessing complaints independently. PM Modi's remarks at the Pilbhit rally, referencing Hindu-Sikh deities and criticizing opposition parties, formed the basis of the plea.
