AAP questions Election Commission’s authority to issue prevention orders on data collection

Op India  

The Election Commission of India has asked Aam Aadmi Party to stop collecting voter identification details of families of school students. Raising strong reservations, the EC has ordered AAP to suspend the voter details collection exercise as per an Indian Express report. In a letter to Chief Election Commissioner OP Rawat last week, Sisodia has declined to heed EC’s order. Despite concerns raised by many, the Delhi Government issued another directive through its Directorate of Education in October, affirming that the collection will ‘help in generating a data bank of students’ of the city to check their residential address.
