Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

A Historic Verdict

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) hails the historic judgment of the Supreme
Court, which has struck down the electrical bonds scheme as
unconstitutional.  By this verdict, this unscrupulous scheme designed to
finance the ruling party by anonymous corporate donors has been completely
scrapped.  

 

The CPI(M) had declared at the outset itself that the Party will not accept
electoral bonds as this scheme legalizes corruption.  The CPI(M) had
challenged the electoral bonds scheme in the Supreme Court along with other
petitioners. It is gratifying that the main contentions set out in the
petition against the scheme have been upheld.  

 

It is essential now that reforms for political and electoral funding are
introduced to ensure transparency, clean funding and a level playing field.
