WHY SHOULDN’T POLITICAL PARTIES PAY RENT for PUBLIC PLACES and SECURITY DURING RALLIES AND MEETINGS?
This question was raised by an Honorable Justice while hearing a petition from a political party seeking permission to hold a public meeting.
The Justice questioned why political parties should not be required to:
i)Pay ₹25,000 to the police for security.
ii)Pay rent for using public spaces for rallies and meetings.
When the party’s counsel objected, the Justice reiterated that political parties already spend significant amounts on erecting stages, putting up cutouts, and arranging seating.
Will any intelligent and thoughtful Member of Parliament (MP) or Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) take the initiative to discuss this issue in the house and act in the interest of the people and the nation?
If our representatives fail to take action, citizens can leverage local forums and platforms to raise this issue and push for meaningful discussions. more

In principal the observations of the Hon. Judge are correct and the nation should not be made liable to bear the cost of arrangements of security during such occasions. Similarly, the respective political parties should be made liable to pay rent for using public places to organise their political agenda and such money should be used for public welfare. more
