SC flags concerns over religion, regionalism in politics

16-Jul-25 11:56 Hrs IST

The Supreme Court has warned that political parties using religion or regionalism to seek votes is as dangerous as fueling communal divides, posing a threat to national unity. The observation came while dismissing a plea to deregister the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), stating that many parties engage in similar tactics and singling out one is unjustified.

The court noted that AIMIM's focus on backward and minority communities aligns with constitutional rights. It emphasized that while promoting religion is not illegal, asking for votes on religious or caste grounds violates election laws. The petitioner was advised to pursue broader electoral reforms instead.
